A singer/songwriter with a soulful voice who spins thoughtful, atmospheric tales that live somewhere between country, rock, and blues, Pony Bradshaw is somewhat of a late bloomer. After taking up music in his early thirties, the Georgia-based musician made a name for himself in open mics and clubs, and by 2018 had secured a deal with Rounder Records. His debut album, Sudden Opera, appeared the following year. The sparsely appointed Calico Jim arrived in 2021, followed in early 2023 by North Georgia Rounder, each one adding more depth and detail to Bradshaw's expanding catalog.
