About

Pony Bradshaw on Tour

Americana singer-songwriter Pony Bradshaw occupies a space somewhere between country, rock and blues. With insightful lyrics and emotive instrumentation, the Mississippi-born artist captured early attention from Rolling Stone and NPR.

Bradshaw didn't take up music until he was in his thirties, but by the time he picked up a guitar, he had plenty to write about. His colorful life experiences, including a short-lived stint in the Air Force, have made their way into his introspective songwriting. After playing open mics and clubs in the American south, he caught the attention of renowned independent label Rounder Records (Alison Krauss & Union Station, Indigo Girls) who signed him in 2018. He released his debut album, Sudden Opera, in 2019.

Now based in Georgia, Bradshaw brings a Southern sensibility to his storytelling, which is soundtracked by reverb-y slide guitar and soulful keys.

Pony Bradshaw Live in Concert

Born James Bradshaw in Mississippi, Pony Bradshaw's father was a military man (as well as an Elvis impersonator), so Bradshaw spent his childhood moving around a lot.

Although Bradshaw enjoyed listening to music as a kid, playing it professionally was not yet a dream of his -- he spent more time playing sports, reading and hanging out with friends.

It wasn't until he performed at an open mic in Chattanooga, Tennessee in his thirties -- a few years after he'd gotten kicked out of the Air Force -- that everything clicked and he knew that he wanted to pursue a career in music.

Bradshaw soon signed to famed Americana and roots label Rounder Records to release his critically acclaimed debut full-length album, Sudden Opera, in 2019. AllMusic noted that the album "paints a moody Southern Gothic world full of regret, redemption, loneliness and desire... and makes a case for creative late bloomers, as Bradshaw arrives on the scene seemingly in full bloom with plenty to say."

Influenced by musical heroes Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, as well as 19th century French authors, poets and painters, Bradshaw is fascinated by the many facets of the human condition, and expresses his reflections through his songwriting.

  • Go see Pony!

    by Dejavu on 5/12/25Jefferson Theater - CharlottesvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    Will Overman, solo guitarist/singer, opened for Pony Bradshaw and he was great! He played for one hour. Immediately afterwards Pony Bradshaw came out on stage! Most concerts I've been to the featured band is usually late. Not Pony! One of the best concerts I've ever seen. His band is so tight. Electric guitar player was impeccable. The venue wasn't packed although it should have been. Look up Pony Bradshaw...find a show...go!

  • Authentic songwriters dream.

    by TBland on 2/17/251884 Lounge - MemphisRating: 5 out of 5

    The crowd interaction was top notch! The live music was better than platform audio. Even for a small trio configuration, don’t sell yourself short guys.

  • Terrific show and venue.

    by Russman on 11/18/24The Riviera Theater - CharlestonRating: 5 out of 5

    Very intimate venue added to the experience this type of music. Easy access to bars and restrooms. Staff were very pleasant which made the entire experience even better. We love Pony Bradshaw.

  • Pony Bradshaw Has a Little Something for Everyone

    by Fattkidd on 11/18/24The Riviera Theater - CharlestonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show. Pony and the band sounded great. The music is just really good Americana with flavors of many different genres thrown in to create a very rich vibe with great lyrics and arrangements. Pony has such a great voice and he brings to bear in a smooth and soulful way. The Riviera Theater in Charleston SC was such a a great venue to see them perform. Would definitely recommend Pony and the Riviera if you have the opportunity.

  • Great music, great venue.
