Maura McKinney Mastro's
"Irish Roots" represents a labor of love, which will also serve as an
introduction to a wider audience for this abundantly gifted performer.
From the intimacy of small cabarets to the glamour of showrooms to the
wide open spaces of major league ballparks & sports arenas, audiences
have delighted in Maura's soaring vocal range and her moving
interpretations of old standards, contemporary popular music, songs of
inspiration, country, rock and folk tunes; as well as her own melodic
compostions.

Martha Haley/Philadelphia, PA Maura McKinney can sing. This is a very, very good CD. (Irish Roots) Very good production. She is not the traditional Irish Soprano. She is the American, get- down –and- dirty, belt out the Irish American songs in a full lower register. The lead singer for Celtic Thunder has a similar style… Tom Jones / Rowan Proffessor/ Celtophile A
Real Natural!, March 25, 2004
