For the band, playing in Fruit is a life changing experience, the chance to truly connect with an audience -- to learn and grow from the experience.

When asked, “Can music change the world?”, Fruit say: “If ever there was a point to our music, we believe that that is it. That’s the clarity we reached last year -- realizing that through our lyrics and our music we could stir the soul... music is a powerful motivator for personal change. The song ‘Burn’ (the title track on Fruit’s new album) has this incredibly powerful line: ‘we can change the face of life by looking at another point of view.’ It‘s not necessarily directed at anyone or anything in particular but it says so much about what’s happening in the world right now. Music speaks to the unconscious in all of us -- it’s where the heart connects with what is going on in the world. In our own small way whether playing to 20 or 20,000 people, if we can put our best songs, written with our hearts, onto a CD or onto the stage and it helps to enlighten a few lives, that will be the point of it.”

“Wherever they go, Fruit continues to captivate audiences and raise the roof. One of the few bands I have produced 2 consecutive years due to unprecedented demand...” -- Linda Tanaka, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival

“Musically, they kick ass: great instrumental skills and vocals that shine with the special glow that comes from years of singing together. Over almost a decade of performing and many, many miles on the road, they have brought together everything they love about blues, folk, jazz, pop and the ways of groove to create music that sets up a major pleasure loop between them and everyone listening… …from all the raves I've been hearing from other festival promoters, Mel Watson, Susie Keynes and Sam Lohs are the proverbial power trio.” -- Dugg Simpson, Vancouver Folk Music Festival Artistic Director 2005

“To me Fruit are one of Australia's best kept secrets, their energy and songs never fail to capture audiences, whether playing to 20,000 or 1000 and they are already one of our hardest working exports...” -- Michael Chugg, ILMC World Promoter of the Year 2006

“One of the best live shows on offer in Australia - Fruit. These three girls exuded an unrelenting stream of positive energy and genuine love for their art.” - Jen Wilson, editor, The Music Network

“A band of three lead female singers, with exquisite harmonies, plenty of horn and a cult following overseas is defying music industry formula...” -- Kathleen Noonan, Brisbane Courier Mail (Australia), 2005

“Australian band Fruit moves far beyond Indigo Girl comparisons on the terrific set Burn!” -- Philadelphia Daily News
