“A heart as big as her remarkable voice”-- JAZZ POLICE

“A playful pianist....sublime vocals.... Zuraitis unwound a sweeping, sunny set.... it’s clear that above all else, she is a musician first — her well-cultivated, swingin’ and misbehavin’ stage presence notwithstanding. Opening act Nicole Zuraitis rules the night at the Cabot.” CHAD KONECKY, WICKED LOCAL BOSTON 2019


"Brooklyn’s Nicole Zuraitis Brings Visceral Vocals, Her Powerhouse Presence and Winning Songwriting to Jazz Outing, HiveMind (Dot Time Records)."- KEN MICALLEF (DOWNBEAT)

"Emerging onto the scene with a notably warm personality, Zuraitis, vocalist extraordinaire, gave her audience a blues “clinic.”....soaring vocals... intimate familiarity....intonation and dreamy clarity.....I watched, transfixed by Zuraitis’s careful mastery of both piano and vocal. She made a mark for herself there (Birdland Jazz Club).”- CHRIS STRUCK CABARET SCENES MAGAZINE 2019
