Ponybird is the moniker for singer-songwriter Jennifer Dauphinais, who also produces electronic psych music as the project called WEAREBISON. Dauphinais plays regionally as both an acoustic singer-songwriter and experimental electronic artist, drawing from a fifteen-year catalog of original work. As a two part EP collection, The Deep Meats EP series diverges from the well-known alternative folk style of prior recordings, and enters new sounds to their evolving songwriting style through influences of psych pop, post punk, and dark wave. Deep Meats I was listed among the Top Five Albums to check out in 2022 by Connecticut Magazine, while Brian Slattery of the Independent said, “Throughout, Dauphinais has never sounded more assured, relaxed, and focused at the same time”.
As Ponybird, Dauphinais has shared the stage with Vetiver, Richard Buckner, Cary Morin, Jeffrey Gaines, Daphne Parker Powell, & Kerri Powers. Dauphinais has also toured regionally as a drummer and vocalist for Brian Ember, Stephen Peter Rodgers, & Jillian Matundan. They were the drummer and vocalist for the folk duo the Karner Blues with Christina Abbott, the blues-rock trio Belle Starr, the reunion of early 80s punk trio, Editors, and in the band Spider & Fly. As a local music promoter, they hosted the local music radio show, That Hour Long Music Show Hour, and wrote for the New Haven Advocate among other local labels and blogs.
