Don’t miss the Cowtown Scramble after party this Saturday at Creamery Park! Daria Grace and the Pre-War Ponies play live for FREE at 5:30 pm, just after the last game of the day.
Baby Smoker BBQ will be serving food all day and into the evening, so bring your appetite!
The Pre-War Ponies was formed in 2007 by Daria Grace, who wanted to put to use her growing collection of sheet music and repertoire of not-quite hits from the 20s, 30s and 40s. She quickly recruited her old friend, trombonist and soprano uke player J. Walter Hawkes to be a part of the madness, and they have become the core duo of the band.
The Pre-War Ponies see no reason to re-hash standards that have already been done so beautifully so many times; they like to dig a little deeper. You have likely heard of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Johnny Mercer, but you probably haven't heard some of their underrated chestnuts. There are plenty of gems from that golden era by the likes of Fred Ahlert, Joe Young, Chas Tobias, and Eddie Jones, none of whom are exactly household names, but maybe should be.
