The Abramson Singers

About Me

Experimenting with a cast of jazz stars on organ, bass, and drums, Leah Abramson writes songs in East Vancouver, sings with her electric and acoustic guitars, and attempts to not take herself too seriously, sometimes succeeding in doing so. When she is not working, writing, touring, singing on records or performing solo and with her old-time band, Dyad, she is joining new bands, watching movies in her bedroom and trying not to be a hermit. Leah released her first full-length album, Bedroom/City, in 2005/06 on Copperspine Records, and is available to download from iTunes Canada , also through Copperspine.com!View The Abramson Singers's EPK
