Catch the buzz others are saying about Regi and her work
“Regi Carpenter’s CD “Diving and Emerging” is wonderful. Her voice is intimate and the perfect instrument to bring you to her childhood on the St. Lawrence River, where Regi had underwater tea parties, fished with Wonder Bread bait, and watched a mother run down to the river after her son has drowned. These stories touch the mysteries of life.”
-Jay O’Callahan
“Ms. Carpenter’s re-craftings are rich, warm, energetic, magnetic, and engaging. A sense of humor is never far away from the life lessons, and ever present in the songs.”
– Dr. Flora Joy, Parents’ Choice
“Each performance comes across with a lively delivery and the CD (Unanana) contains a good selection of stories, appropriate for multiple levels.”
– Parent’s Guide to Children’s Media
“Regi Carpenter has a voice that dances. It can, at a moment’s notice, be light as a feather, frisk about playfully, or leap with sudden power. Best of all is the sheer joy she communicates in telling her tales.”
– School Library Journal
“Remarkably communicative.”
– Pittsburgh Gazette
“When Regi Carpenter speaks, the words do funny things. They jump off your shoulders, they ski slope down your arms and light up your eyes.”
– Susan Weitz, Ithaca Times
“Regi brings to every project the powerful combination of a talented teacher and gifted artist, able to coax the best efforts, and stir the heart and soul of each child.”
– Penny Condon, 2nd grade teacher
