'The soulful sounds of Petra Rijnbeek were on show at the opening of The Wharf. Celebrities and guests were treated to a New Orleans style show that dripped of chocolate and whiskey tones from this Jazz Diva. A show not to be missed that will be a monthly feature and this new grand establishment.
Music critic.2010
'Where has this girl been hiding? finally NZ has a true blues singer! Vibes of Etta James mixed with Doris Day - a great performer with the chops to match. Catch this lady in action at the Mangere Bridge Street Project next year.
Deborah Pead, CEO PEADPR
'The first time I heard Petra was at a vineyard and although I was not very close to the stage, her entrancing voice floated over me as sweetly as the wine! I meet her backstage and since I have hired Petra for many launches and key events, where Petra knows what needs to be done. I have had her imitating Marilyn, Tina, Jazz greats and so on to holding court at concerts, charity fundraisers that had a $300 plate cost and all left saying they have never been so tastefully entertained. Petra knows how to create a crescendo for a perfect night. A star in all meanings of the word - she sparkles and radiates star qualities with a star voice'
