Poosa are like a mimosa. Melissa Sonnen, the front of Poosa (Poosa is actually her nickname since childhood) is charming and childlike in voice and spirit. Rob Stealcheat is her accompanying guitarist and song-writing partner. The two of them sing a cover of Shane and Sinead’s “Haunted by the Ghost” (on their latest CD release, "Hyacinth") as though they took a fine sea worthy vessel all the way to the beach and crashed it on the jagged rocks (in a good way). From the prettiest melodic acoustic track “Brighton Beach” to the rockers “Do You Want to go to Paris”, “Another London Sunday” and “Crazy Colored Boats” Poosa is the future retro. With everybody’s drummer, Jason Deming, and the counter melodic bass of Tyler Christenson - this half hour c.d. goes by like a surfer in a red bikini. Recorded and mixed under the nurturing care of Rich Mattson (Glenrustles, Ol’ Yeller), you’ll even find Rich wading with surf guitar on “Moon of Sin”.
