Kelakos filled the spolight with brilliance, with her pure poetry and music... her talented actress presence, her wit and stand-up comic's way with a funny tale-- and, of course, her soaring, crystal clear voice... a total delight, running the gamut from the inspiration to the naughty, spinning shining images all the way." -- Lowell Sun, MA
