"The air conditioning....was on the fritz...but Ruth King made the stage hotter still. In a brief showcase performance with a three-piece band and backup singers, King proved she is a local vocalist to watch...The strength of her presence is undeniable, like that of a veteran raised on stage."

"Ruth King, the sensational R&B vocalist has now become the Ruth King Band....taking her already soulful and classy voice...producing an one-of-a-kind sound"

"King has a lovely, warm voice with a slightly throaty edge....she infused the phrasing with her own emotions. her original material is exceptionally strong...her melodies are varied, and she has a knack for catchy but not over-stated hooklines."

"Ruth's songs ar easily identifiable...Let's hope a major label snaps her uup soon. She got too much talent to waste in one state."

"Ruth King is abeautiful, talented singer and songwriter....The richness of Ruth's style reaches full throttle when she breaks into on of her original pieces like....'Desperate Days.' "

"Ruth has true energy and style. Her voice is exciting...she performed with her guitar and reacted to the music....What a combination!"

"It's pretty hard to classify Ruth King's self-penned blend of acoustical guitar, jazzy vocals and soul-and-funk tempo. How King developed her style of mixing and matching musical genres, though, is easily traced. She is the product of good musical genes - her mom and dad. By 4, she had performed onstage with her parents."

"Although some compare her to Melissa Etheridge, it isn't fair to compare her to anyone. Ruth King has formed her own style that starts with her soul and travels through her fingers to the strings of her guitar and finally erupts out of her voice. The result is truly magic. I've had the pleasure of seeing her perform at the House of Blues where she literally stopped me in my tracks. A self-taught artist, the orlando-based singer seems at home wherever she performs."

"Introducing Ruth King....The sound of a voice that cried out with sincerity resonated through the ears of everyone in range...The strong and sultry voice rang out clearly...It was invigorating to capture the sound waves of this performance and the intricate musical style with which it was presented...you have the awesome, entertaining talent of Ruth King."

"Ruth is one of the most popular and positive entertainers we have...Many people call to inquire when she is singing. She has a local following of her own."

"Thank you for a wonderful performance...It left people hanging on for more!! Quality and professionalism is womething we've come to expect from a Ruth King show!"

"Your playing abilities are outstanding and you really know how to grab the attention of an audience"

"Dear Ms. King...you played a key role in making the (Winter Park Arts) festival successfull. The spirit and talent displayed were a wonderful contribution toward the tremendous success in this years festival."

"Ruth King is a talented artist who takes great pride in her musical accomplishments. She has a style uniquely her own."

"Thank you for the excellent programs you have provided for Florida Atlantic University. It's always a pleasure working with an obvious talent, but the experience is made even more pleasurable when the artist is as prpofessional and easy to work with as yourself. You have given us one of the best programs we have ever had in our Rathskeller. I've received alot of favorable comments about you and requests to have you back."

"Thank you for contributing to our arts festival. Your performance was excellent!"
