"The Staveley Project; a fierce, heartfelt and technically superb
performance. Staveley's incomparably expressive vocal work is backed by one of the tightest
and passionate rhythm sections I have heard. Her songwriting is raw like road rash and hits
you just as hard. Don't underestimate this player, nor what she has to say."
- Michael Morritt (on the stavelEy project), Musician & Filmmaker, Montreal, QC
“Like a female equivalent of Greg MacPherson, a lone person singing and

"Then it was Jill's turn to take the stage. She blew me away. Her set was

probably has the best singing voice I have ever heard, her guitar playing and style were
great, aaaaaaand she was pretty darn sexy up on stage playing her guitar."

"We came here for a night of Power-Pop...and the stavelEy project
delivered!"
- A Very Intoxicated Man at The Silver Dollar Room, Toronto, ON, Jan 30/09
"I don't know what they are putting in the drinking water in Peterborough.
There are roughly 75-100,000 people there, but they seem to have more than their share of
talented musicians. Enough that Radio Free Peterborough gets by playing only Peterborough
artists.
"If the name Jill Staveley doesn't mean anything to you (it will soon just wait) then think
the Burning Hell. As I've said, I know that Mathias Kom is the Burning Hell even when he's
alone, but I've never seen him that way and can't imagine him without Staveley backing him
up...."
