"Tear
stained bone machine melodrama for the forlorn and frisky alike."
Steve
Baylin / Ottawa Xpress.
"The
tendencies of Tom Waits, while putting Johnny Cash through a Kate Bush filter." Fateema Sayani, Ottawa Citizen.
"Poushinsky...stray[s]
into the imagistic realm of writers like Michael Ondaatje...with lines that
linger deliciously in the air long after the notes have faded." Stephen Flood, the Ottawa Sun.
L.Poushinsky
is an Ottawa based singer / songwriter electric folk lover! Catch her solo or with friends as
L.Poushinsky spans the musical spectrum, embracing folk, rock, alt-country,
cabaret, and jazz with her vocal theatrics.
Choosing her sets from 4 albums of original material, L.Poushinsky wows
audiences with her shivering voice, snakey guitar, and songs stretching from
graveyard rock to pure pop poetry.
Since
2004, L. Poushinsky has recorded three full-length albums, fronted two bands,
and performed over 100 shows across Canada from Northern B.C. to Newfoundland.
L. Poushinsky is part of a number of musical projects in the Ottawa area,
including organ and vocals for Dave Norris & Local Ivan, 40 Watt Monkey,
Brian Simms, and Bandier Lake.
L.Poushinsky is looking forward to touring the GTA November 2009 with Dave
Norris and Local Ivan, with a new album and a new roster of jazzy folk
originals. Look out for L. Poushinsky in
a town near you as she crosses Canada, summer 2010, with her release "Heart
Shaped Cookie Cutter," an album chronicling the life and romantic adventures of
a woman who learns lessons about love (and sweet teeth!) the hard way.
