Bio
Untamed and wild, the ponies gallop through the vastness of the blues, with a rocking, rough wind in their manes.
The 70s spirit, earthy Americana roots sounds and southern dignity interweave to create the band's vibrant sound.
The music is clearly in the tradition of classic American songs.
The band has been around since 2019 and is based in Lucerne. The Ponies have already attracted attention at the preliminary rounds of the Blues Festival Basel's Promo Blues Night, where they impressed and wowed the jury and the audience. On April 17, 2024, they will now take to the big stage at Volkshaus Basel in the final.
New song material is being worked on and a first recording is being planned.
