"As always, Big Little Lions' Helen Austin and Paul Otten perform wonderfully in a live studio setting, playing off of one another as a collective, energetic tour de force." 
PopMatters

"The music of Big Little Lions — the duo of Helen Austin and Paul Otten – is a blissful marriage of new folk and sophisticated pop. The award-winning songwriters have voices that blend like magic and whenever they make music together it's the cue for a heady mixture of soul, spirit and fun." 
Mariposa Folk Festival

While Helen is doing the singing and strumming, the musical monster is Otten. He’s playing drums, piano, bass pedals, laying down a rhythm and a groove behind that vocal that turns the song into an upbeat danceable anthem about learning to live with your monsters. 

They are a joy to listen to and great to watch.
Summerfolk Festival
