#Montefamousreview: Gretta Ziller –Queen of Boomtown.

Gretta is a Melbourne artist who has had a very diverse musical journey. With a background spanning rock, pop, classical, jazz, folk and bluegrass, Her much anticipated album Queen of Boomtown has burst into the music sphere living up to its name, as her voice booms at the right times, and sooths you tender moments. Gretta is simply stunning; her voice takes you to beautiful places as she sings her heartfelt stories. She will also rattle your musical soul with her masterful command of lyrics. Queen of Boomtown is a brilliant example of alternative country story telling. This album is the #Montefamous Review must have for September.
