HYDRAULIC WOMAN: REVIEWS
"...A commanding blend of rock, blues, acoustic and electric. Kristen's vocals are a spectrum of highs and lows, power and grace; she can sing with a hard edge or a sweet, smooth flow. Kristen’s songs capture a variety of moods...energetic and filled with raw emotion...expressive vocals that have a sugary edge. Hydraulic Woman raises the bar." - kweevak.com
"Kristen Schuldt has a rich bluesy voice and writes some really interesting songs. She has a lot of talent in both areas. I would go see her live in a heartbeat. She can really belt the blues with a very natural/fluid feel....makes me look forward to what this very talented woman will do next." - Stacey Board, musesmuse.com
"Kristen can REALLY sing!" - Joel Johnson, KFAI Radio
