Ponybird

Influenced by the emotional roots of country, the confessional poetry of folk, and the spatial freedom of ambient and harmonic tones, Ponybird is the solo project of Jennifer Dauphinais, an evolving artist who translates her vision of the world into song and sound. Listening to Ponybird, puts the audience on the verge of discovering something both introspective and infinite all at once. In her song-writing, Dauphinais references classic performers such as Bruce Springsteen, Velvet Underground, and Kate Bush, and composes with the flavor of Bon Iver, Phosphorescent, and Chris Pureka.
