Serena Postel

Serena Postel's music can make a demon swoon or a prostitute blush. Her charismatic voice and beautifully melodic songs are juxtaposed, yet complimented by her percussive guitar style and her razor-sharp wit. It hasn't been proven yet, but Serena very well could be the love-child of Sarah Harmer, Ani DiFranco and Holly McNarland.

Serena puts on a live show to remember. At times performing with her talented and versatile band (Dave Graham, Ian Mikita and Bruce Berven), or on stage solo, Serena displays a mosaic of emotion and experience with unbridled energy that will hypnotize an audience.

Just in the past year Serena has graced the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Brandon Folk Festival, and the Trout Forest Festival, embarked on three cross-Canada tours and garnered airplay on CBC Radio, UMFM, CKUW and KickFM. She has shared the stage with some of Canada 's finest folk artists: Nathan Rogers, NQ Arbuckle, Coco Love Alcorn, Romi Mayes, Twilight Hotel and Dan Frechette.

Big Bad Wolf, a haunting tale of a child's nightmare from Serena's 2006 release, Spare Change, sat at number one on the Manitoba Music Chart for several weeks. This seven song EP continues to sell across Canada , the US , as well as to her growing following over seas. Inspired by the success of Spare Change, excited by her own musical evolution from touring and constant live shows, Serena is now recording her first full-length album that will bottle her and her band's live vigor and magnify the experience for the ears. She plans on persistent, heavy touring across Canada , the US and Australia , because on the road "you have no choice but to be heading somewhere".
