about
If you walk long enough, one foot in front of the other, from the city, you¹ll end up in the country. The opposite applies as well, of course. From countryside to city. Selina Martin has travelled back and forth so many times she can slip effortlessly from gumboots to heels. Her songs make this same deliberate journey, sometimes tracing a pastoral trail back to traditional folk music and waltzes, and sometimes, with the aid of one of the best bands in the city, they¹re as hard edged and tread stained as downtown concrete. It¹s like a folk pop punk cabaret, but smart. The four years spent on the road as opening act and accompanist to Bob Wiseman were integral in sharpening her skills as a player and performer. She toured all over North America and parts of Europe exchanging guitar for accordion, theremin, organ, musical saw, wine glasses and, of course, vocals. Since the release of her critically acclaimed debut CD 'Space Woman', she¹s been working on her 2nd. Co-produced by Michael Phillip Wojewoda and Annelise Noronha it¹s titled 'Life Drawing Without Instruction' and features hugely talented band members Leo Valvassori, Rob Carson, Dave Clark and co-producer Noronha. Guest players include Martin Tielli (also constructing beautiful artwork), N.Q. Arbuckle, Wojewoda, Greg Smith, members of Wayne Omaha, and an instrumental track featuring the junkyard jazz band St. Dirt Elementary School. This ain't no ordinary album. It¹s like a pilgrimage from wide open fields to crowded
