IMSC Ep 56 - Song 4: "Vancouver Winter" by Sharon Bousquet




"Write. Record. Perform. Repeat. Soulful Folk, A Capella, Instrumentals..."

"Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter Sharon Bousquet lives and works in Fairfield, IA where she is the lead vocalist and co-writer for All Souls on Deck, a 6-piece Indie-Acoustic band. Sharon is a mother and composer ofilm scores with 6 independent CD releases to her credit."
- from her Facebook page

"Born in Philadelphia and raised in Wilmington DE, Sharon Bousquet left the East Coast in her early 20's following love and music. Seven albums of original music later, Sharon has recently returned to her East Coast roots with a strong collection of new songs in hand. Sharon Bousquet was a top 10 finalist in the 2016 Philly Songwriter's Contest. As a finalist in the 2017 Musicarmageddon Solo songwriter competition at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington DE, Sharon continues to gain recognition for strong songwriting, powerful vocals and deep skills on acoustic guitar."

"Whether she's playing the smoldering blues, soulful rock or country-tinged folk, Sharon Bousquet does everything with sultry grace. She's a woman with so much music inside of her, it's as if she cant help but let it bubble out all steamy-like across a wide range of genres... She has considerable prowess on the acoustic guitar, yet she puts her instrument down occasionally to belt out an a capella tune like the gospel-tinged 'Temple'... Bousquet has the substance to rise to the top."
- from Rob Patt at The Metro

"Yes, she's a woman with Eros on the brain, but she takes the low road with her expression of it. She doesn't go Liz Phair's frisky 'Love's done me wrong' route, nor does she do the sappy, Sarah McLauchlan 'Love is like ice cream' routine. Instead, Bousquet goes subtly into lovelorn poetics and earthy trysts, leaving songs like 'I Dont Miss You and Want You Enough' strewn across the floor... it's Bousquet's fine spun, visceral songwriting and throaty, limpid voice that make Mirror, Mirror worth a listen."
- from Audiophile at The Metro

"An eclectic acoustic sound-scape... mixing jazzy blues, acoustic rock and finger-style guitar work... add the voice of a smoking angel and you get the gist."
- from DL Puckett at Run Like Hell Records

"Although the media and music industry consistently like to rely on comparing unequaled talent to previous music legends, it's safer to say that Sharon (Bousquet) is a true original."
- from Timm R at The Metro Santa Cruz

"Her voice is strong, while her message is earthy and inspirational. With songs like 'Blind and Asleep' and 'Not Enough Love', Bousquet encourages people to 'be compassionate, to love well, and to help those less fortunate than ourselves' - a message we can all learn from..."
- from Anna S in The Good Times Weekly

"The term "triple threat" comes to mind... powerful singing voice, well-crafted and lovely songs, and this woman can PLAY."
- from Blackbox Audio

"Immeasurable talent... consider yourself notified."
- from Good Times Magazine
