Our next concert is on Saturday May 12, 2012, featuring:

Pre-War Ponies

The Pre-War Ponies was formed in 2007 by Daria Grace, who wanted to make use of her growing collection of sheet music and repertoire of not-quite hits from the 20s, 30s and 40s. You may have heard of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Johnny Mercer, but you probably haven't heard some of their under-rated chestnuts like "Pardon My Southern Accent" or "Find Me A Primitive Man."

Since then the Ponies have been playing NYC venues like Barbes, Superfine, Brooklyn Rod & Gun Club and the Rodeo Bar as well as private events. They are currently recording their second CD, which they hope to release by November 2012.

For this performance Daria handles the lead vocals, accompanies herself on baritone ukulele, and is joined by J. Walter Hawkes on trombone, soprano uke and backing vocals, Tim Luntzel on the bass, and Russ Meissner on drums.
