-Don Descoteau, Monday Magazine


"No one puts on a performance like Edie. I still can't comprehend fully all that went on last night. It's one thing to sing a song - Edie "becomes" part of the song that she is singing and takes the audience on the journey with her. First class talent and quite possibly the kindest most generous person I have ever met. It was embarrassment of riches last night - from Edie's impeccable voice to the golden tones coming from Joey's '55 Gibson to Damian's skillful handling of the drums - every single part of the drums! What a lucky audience to have witnessed that show last night..."
-Doug Pickard- Ground Zero Lounge


"Sidney vocalist Edie Daponte shines when she's singing with a small combo. But in front of an energetic 17 piece jazz band like the Don Leppard Big Band, she really sparkles. The incomparable Edie Daponte and the fabulous Don Leppard Big Band played to an enthusiastic packed house at the Osborne Bay Pub in Crofton Sunday afternoon. The band dazzled and Daponte enchanting as always in a spectacular performance "
