From the online publication, Johnny’s Garden – Here is the translated review written by Ed Muitjens:

Heidi Winzinger: Honeysuckle Dream

Sometimes you run into a cd that appeals to you immediately. Until recently, Heidi Winzinger was completely unknown to me, but her cd ‘Honeysuckle Dream’ certainly belongs to that category. This New Jersey born lady with a PhD in agriculture may be dreaming to sit on the porch of her own farm some day, but I certainly hope she will never leave the singing behind. For ‘Honeysuckle Dream’ is a lovely record, full of variation and with excellent songs. Add to that the fact that her voice sounds very charming to me, to put it modestly. Recognizable, colorful and simply plain beautiful. Colorful like the honeysuckle, in Dutch ‘kamperfoelie’, to adhere to the theme of the album.
This is not an album that digs deep all the time, the jazzy ‘Yogi Momma’ is just a
simple ‘feel good’ song and the tasty up-tempo ‘Paper trails’ is just a song about reading a book. But in the very beautiful song ‘I’m Falling Too’ she paints a love affair with the shades of autumn. Beautiful dobro playing, her voice gorgeously combined with beautiful background vocals deliver just the right atmosphere for this song. Similarly, Heidi lifts the folky ‘Midway Avenue’ to a very high level.
There’s a lot of sarcasm in the catchy ‘Another Perfect Day’, about the empty lives of a number of frequent manicure visiting housewives. Happy and cheerful from the outside, but it’s a thin layer of make-up that hides the sadness. But what’s that hollow feeling that follows you through the day? she sings in the darkly sounding bridge. The beautiful ‘I can’t sleep’ with a lovely bass clarinet arrangement closes this cd in an impressive way.
This exemplarily produced cd is released by Tresspass Music. This label recently released some cd’s that are more than worthwile and ‘Honeysuckle dream’ with its extensive instrumentation is certainly one of them. We don’t rate reviewed cd’s with stars in this place, but if we did I would certainly give this one a four out of five. Heidi Winzinger has proven to be a more than pleasant surprise.

Danielle Miraglia studied Creative Writing at Emerson College in Boston, MA with intentions of becoming a novelist. Upon graduation, she found that she was writing more poetry than prose and had a reawakened urge to pick up her guitar. From this, songs were born that would lead to a life-time passion and a full-time career in music.

On Friday, Feb 25th, bring your poetry to share and your questions for Danielle for a discussion on: the craft of turning your poetry into songs; combining two passions into one; how to get over the fear of taking deeply personal feelings from the page to the stage and more.

Workshop at 6pm followed by a concert by Danielle at 8pm.
