ABOUT ATHENA
Athena Reich is a bilingual Jewish Mennonite originally from Canada, which, once you get to know her, explains a lot. She is currently working on her 5th CD with Emmy/Grammy winning producer Cynthia Daniels. She has shared the stage with Peaches, Jim Carrey & Sarah Mclachlin and toured across North America for 3 years. She is also an actress who recently appeared as part of the 365 Days/Plays Festival at Lincoln Center & The Public Theater, and in the Punk-Rock Musical "Love Sucks" at the New York Musical Theater Festival 2007. Her music is storytelling piano-pop with a theatrical twist. She is constantly pushing boundaries, mocking taboo, and making you pee your pants with laughter.

She’s wonderful. What a joy”.

Watch out world--here comes Athena Reich!
author: Amy Emerman
Athena Reich is one of the liveliest performers I've seen in a long time. Watch out! She will rivet you from behind her guitar with her catchy, thought-provoking lyrics. She has a voice that is extremely versatile, and ranges from soft and beautiful to loud and awakening to rock n' roll to opera to sounds that I didn't know were possible...Athena's style on stage is dynamic and peppy. She has a serious command of her performance and it's impossible to sit in an audience and not pay attention to what Athena is doing on stage. This woman combines theatre with music in an incredibly topical way to create her own one-woman dynamo show. Watch out world--here comes Athena Reich!

This will make you sing/shout along with Athena. Poignant, moving.
author: Angie Foster
A mix of spoken word and song. Full of feeling. Intense...in a good sense. This is not background music. It's the kind of stuff you want to sing/shout along with. Athena will move you with her powerful voice and poignant lyrics in songs like Merry Go Round And Up And Down and Selling Songs.
