Some Words About Kindred

"Kindred is a delicious musical blend of Mandy Miller's powerful, bluesy style and Dionne Ward's soulful, sensual approach to music. Just when you think you have their acoustic sound pegged, out comes the mandolin or the drums to mix it up. With influences ranging from the Indigo Girls to Janis Joplin, they apply their beautiful harmonies and striking sound to each song leaving you wanting more."

- Debbie Schilling, house concert promoter

"Kindred is writing some incredible songs in preparation for their new full length CD. Their original work in combination with their slick stage presence will undoubtedly make them a common fixture on mainstages across the country."

- Kara Barnard, instrumentalist, producer, singer, songwriter

"Whether you prefer the blusey, Janis Joplinesque sound of Mandy's upbeat style, or the Joan Baez, mindful and soulful clarity of Dionne's ballads, you will be moved by the well-blended, rich vocals of Kindred. From acoustic, folksy guitar and mandolin pieces to raw, emotional percussion, Kindred will find a place in your heart and soul."

- Helen Harrell, co-host of bloomingOUT weekly radio show, Bloomington, Indiana
