full of charisma, and very vivacious. I love the
songs. . .great band. . . great   entertainers."
                                      --- Russ Regan

John, Olivia Newton-John, Neil Diamond and Barry

"It occurs to me that so often what we find missing in
contemporary female singer/songwriters is a real mastery
of melodic phrasing, but Dolly Rappaport appears to have
been born with it..."
--- Irene Jackson - Gods of Music

Dolly Rappaport's artistry and
musicianship have attracted fans from
around the globe.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area,
Dolly released her first album, "Here to
There"[1999], earning critical acclaim,
numerous awards, and was the impetus
and inspiration for her two subsequent
albums. The title track plays when you

With a rare combination of an
unforgettable voice, world-class
saxophone, and masterful piano
highlighting her live performance, Dolly's
original songs glide easily across several
genres including pop, rock, and jazz.

As a result of her unique blend of
storytelling and spiritual harmony, Dolly
has been blessed as well with a steady
and loyal fan base, industry support, and
a fantastic community of musicians,
producers, and engineers.

Joined by co-writer Mitch Rappaport,
Dolly's catalogue [M&D Media/ ASCAP]
has evolved to over 200 songs. Her
2007 calendar of events will include gigs
throughout the States, plus a brand new
album release, scheduled for the late
summer.

“Dolly’s songs have the power to 'reel' an audience in from the intro
and keep them there 'till the last note. As a performer, you can't do
any better than that (have total attention at command). .”
--- Mike M. - Bluestew

“Why this woman isn't No.1 in the billboard chart on a regular basis
we've no idea. Pull your finger out Sony, there's money to be made
here.”
                                                     --- The New Underground

“If you describe a person using a rough frame like this one, they’ll
quickly appear very hard, cold and impersonal. But the songs Dolly
Rappaport writes and sings are the complete opposite. If you listen
to the tracks of this artist, you immediately think of attributes like
tender, soft, mild and lovely, almost retentively beautiful…”
