Live 105′s “Top Ten Artists/Bands You Didn’t See on the Top 20 List of 2011″ “Multitalented artist from San Francisco who plays all her own instruments… Make sure you keep an eye on her in 2012.” - White Menace, Live 105 DJ (1/5/12)

Theresa Sawi (Girl Named T) on NPR’s “All Things Considered”  – interviewed by Laura Sydell (10/25/11) (Transcript)

Epiphone Guitar News Feature – (9/23/11)

“…after just a couple of songs it was evident that she possessed a special presence and powerful delivery…the young singer/songwriter had a magnetic charm, with a voice that was warm and soulful on quiet tunes, and fiery and just as rich when she raised the volume on spirited songs like ‘Beautiful’” – Jason Cassidy, News & Review (Chico CA, June 2011)

“Compared to female indie contemporaries such as Ingrid Michaelson or Mirah, T employs a mainstream sound… these tunes are catchy as hell. T’s vocals can be incredibly powerful and, thanks to some Beatles-esque harmonies, beautiful now and again.” – Alex de Vore, Santa Fe Reporter (Santa Fe NM, August 2011)

“T sings and plays folk-threaded rock with a genuineness that transforms her songwriting into a story-telling experience.” – Kristen Kim, The Morning After Pill Blog

“As far as the art of the album goes, Bay Area scene veteran Theresa “T” Sawi has it down. Hey Liebe, her long-awaited full-length debut under the Girl Named T moniker, is almost perfect in terms of the form of the album, and it plays almost like an early Beatles album….it’s a pop album in the best sense–a well-crafted collection of honest, unpretentious songs that whoosh by but stick in your head.” – Daniel Bromfield, SF Rebirth Blog

“…recommended if you like your music sunny-side-up with a hint of indie folk semi-acoustic goodness” – Loni Lonz, Raindrop Residence

Girl Named T has also been played on college/local radio stations such as KSJS (San Jose, CA), KDVS (Davis, CA), KPFA (Berkeley) and WUML (Lowell, MA).
