Browse: Home / CD Reviews / Jessica Prouty Band get an A+ for their debut CD My Way
By Bill Copeland on March 11, 2012
 The Jessica Prouty Band has been shaking things up on the New England music scene. Although Prouty and her band mates just graduated high school last spring, these untested young musicians have consumed everything in their wake like a giant blob. Everybody stops on the name Jessica Prouty to find out what it’s all about. Prouty and her boys went into a recording studio with the incomparable producer Brian Maes and this CD they created only ignited another powder keg.
Hard-rocking title track “My Way” comes charging out of the gate with jet propulsion in the galloping rhythm section and full-bodied synthesizer. Natural born belter Prouty puts forward her anthem of feisty independence, singing it like she means it and like she means business. Lead guitarist Cody Nilsen screams his support with a hard edge phrase that takes no prisoners.

We received "Best Band" at the Limelight Music Awards in RI, along with runner up for "Best Live Act" and "Best Female Vocalist" in March 2012
Cat Wilson from the Cheap Seats on Cool 102, who also received the most supportive local DJ award at the Limelight Awards, had this to say after the awards on her radio program:
I had the pleasure of finally seeing the Jessica Prouty Band live last weekend at the Limelight Music Awards, and, oh my goodness, if I was blindfolded, I would not have known this was a band full of teenagers.
And let me tell you, they owned the room when they got on stage. I know that we've had several other cohosts in the studio talking about how great the band is, and, of course, Brian Maes who produced them talking about how great they were, but to see these kids live. And Jessica-- frontwoman--singing and rocking the bass. I just thought that that was absolutely amazing.

Female-fronted foursome from New England is impressive… The band has played lots of gigs and the result is a polished presentation. The gushing, teen-spririted "We're Havin' A Great Time" shows bassist Prouty's voice to be strong and appealing, delivering the song's innocent message with ample enthusiasm. She displays convincing emotion on the ballad "She's No Cinderella." Musicianship never lags, including inspired guitar solos. This teen band is a cut above its peers.

”...she does sound great. She has the quality of a classically-trained singer in a ... rock band. All the musicians play amazingly well, with the experience of rockers a few decades older.”
