In thinking about why they chose Seeley, she said "It was like when I met Jason, it's like falling in love. Sometimes you just know, it's like a feeling. It kind of reminds me of that, I'm not saying our road has been paved with easy steps - building a house, and marriage - but they're both a learning process and a labor of love."

“I think we’ve just got to stay hopeful and help one another and just be open to whatever changes are going to come and support however things develop for the best of everyone and try not to just melt down into total utter chaos.” Joan Zen

The duo’s lyrics are prayerful, teaching without being preachy. If that’s not enough, Joan Zen’s powerful pipes invite one to have a “Lis-ZEN.”

"A chanteuse of the first order, with a voice that's full of character and conviction and playfulness and soul."

"But be careful not to equate Joan Zen’s lyrics with such sweetness. Deborah Hicks has the vocal power to do the most belting. And the most woeful range, akin to Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, while sounding off in the sweaty style of Janis Joplin. The power of her voice and the messages in her lyrics combine to echo a new sort of "Strange Fruit."
