"The Delaware-bred Flowers shone brightly when she lived in Boston a few years ago before moving to Providence, then New York. She's gone from a young singer-songwriter to a mature, self-managed artist during that time -- and it shows in her often bewitching new CD, "Yesterday's Girl." Flowers always had chops -- she sings and plays guitar with an Ani DiFranco-like versatility -- and now she's dealing with more meaty subject matter. The new record recounts leaving a relationship to follow her musical destiny and includes a song about parents grieving in the wake of the Station nightclub fire ("Only Now"). "I embellished a couple of stories that I heard on the news," Flowers says of that track. The new CD is gracefully coproduced by Flowers and her brother, Bruce, who colors the songs with atmospheric piano, organ, and electric guitar. But the star is Flowers, who has a renewed confidence ("I can't afford to play the loser anymore, it's not my style," she sings). As for the title "Yesterday's Girl," she says, "It's something my mother would have said: 'Why live in the shadows of yesterday's girl?' "
Steve Morse, The Boston Globe (2005)

"Energetic and affable, Kendra sings a heartfelt blend of folk, alternative and blues with a strong, distinctive voice that recalls the power and range of Bonnie Raitt or Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies. When paired with her prowess on the acoustic guitar, the resulting sound is both simple and potent; making her songs seem like a series of lyrical short stories. Drawn from such diverse sources of inspiration as her own life, favorite novels and, in the case of the instrumental, “Smackdown,” the World Wrestling Federation, the strength of her self-penned songs gives her set a uniquely personal feel.

"Kendra plays an acoustic guitar as if it were a weapon, riffing the
pants off most modern musicians. And they are good riffs, too, at
times soaked in blues grit and others drenched in melancholy a la Red
House Painters." www.southofmainstream.com (reviewed by Fin)

"Kendra Flowers pulls from a bluesy palette and an assortment of
emotional brushes to create a variety of musical pictures…dark and
smoky…lyrically breath-taking…Kendra's guitar work ranges from strong
stabs to flowing falls. Overall…Flowers has a good set of pipes and
gleaming skills." Matthew Robinson, Boston Soundcheck Magazine / MusicDish.com
