---Critical Reviews---

"Chappel has the personality and songwriting ability to hit it big."
Aiding and Abetting, online music resource


"Mysticism, psycho-androgyny, lyrical hooks and catchy melodies, this guitar based production should corner a considerable amount of airplay." Music BIZ Magazine


"Chappel warbles impassioned alternative rock singles with enticing vocals, radio-friendly hooks, and a catchy, quirky sound inhabiting the admittedly yawning chasm between Alanis Morissette and Ani DiFranco."
The East Bay Express


"Now she''s an acclaimed songwriter putting out some cool and unusual guitar rock like the Alanis-meets-rockabilly number ''Kill Me Dead.''"
The Good Times, Santa Cruz


"The audience seemed to love her, students and older people alike. Each song was punctuated by uproarious applause, and the end of the session brought a scream of "Encore!" so loud that it seemed to shake the walls."
City on a Hill Press (U. of California student newspaper)


"...Michelle Chappel has been the top selling local artist at Tower Records (San Jose) for the last six months. Due to this high demand, Michelle Chappel''s CD can now be found alongside other major artists, as well as in the local artist section of the store."
Tower Records Manager, Dan McGurt
