I'm a wild seed again, let the wind carry me

About Me

Hi there, I used to be one half of a duo called Pooka, we released 4 albums and various ep's. Our style was eclectic and experimental. We also collaborated with electronic artists Orbital, ultramarine and Brian Duffy. Our first album was released world wide, although other releases were mainly UK and France. I am now a solo artist and have just released my debut album The Hour Lilies. Accompanied by piano and guitar I write and record my own stuff. The songs are delicate things. I live by the sea and teach music to kids. Brighton is a great place to live, I am surrounded by many talented and original musicians/writers such as Paul Chi, Barnaby o rorke, Luke Adams, Martha Tilston, The Mountain Firework Company, Charleyville etc.. All these people inspire me. I recently toured the States and the UK with Boston songstress Rose Polenzani who has become a great friend. We would back each other up at our shows with harmonies and keyboards. Mp3's of our collaboration and other tracks have been uploaded above. If you like what you hear you can purchase my album plus Pooka rarities from my website www.sharonlewis.net or click the link below to purchase my solo album The Hour Lilies. Thanks for taking time and listening.The Hour Lilies £10 including postageFools Give Birth To Angels £10 including postage
