The Massachusetts folk artist unfurls tendrils of compassion for a weathered world
— Victoria Wasylak, The Boston Globe




On her EP, Feelings, she explores her complex, and complicated, identity, then asks listeners to ponder their own place in the world.
— Americana Highways


Westwater’s music is striking, eclectic, beautiful, and unlike what you may have heard before.
— Taylor Gonsalves, We Rock Boston



eagerly exploring the world
— Juliet Pennington, The Boston Globe


Much of this release feels like Westwater giving us a taste of the American songbook filtered through her own experience. She’s equally adept at blues, soul, jazz, and even a little country-fried balladry...
— Allston Pudding


an amazing atmosphere and aftertaste
— Mishka DJ


‘Feelings,’ like its creator, is complex, full of swirling questions in a pastiche of jazzy, rock-tinged confessionals.
— Charley Ruddell, WBUR



‘Feeling My Feelings’ sees Westwater once again pulling from their eclectic array of influences, from jazzy songstress legends like Ella Fitzgerald to indie folk mainstays like Wilco. The percussion skirts around the edges of the song while acrobatic guitar lines wind and enlace with Westwater’s smokey vocals.

adventurous songs that refuse to be limited by genre
