25.01.2022 Dear friends, We are so very sorry to have to announce that our April Stone Pony show with the wonderful Ben Roberts and Crooked Road will have to be postponed until we can safely hold concerts in the old Show Hall again. We will be in touch soon with more info about how we will be proceeding in the coming months, but rest assured we will be striving to return to our monthly live original music concerts in Willunga as soon as we can. Love from team Pony

25.01.2022 The incredible Tom Redwood at Stone Pony for our late December show (yeah were catching up on insta!) He brought songs of open-hearted longing, by turns smooth and rasping, bittersweet redemption, getting to the heart of things songs, from his latest album Glue that had the packed to the rafters audience leaning in for all of it. Thanks Tom Redwood Music photos by Catherine Leo Photography #livemusic #singersongwriter #acousticguitar #acoustic #indierock #altfolk #showhall #livemusicrocks

24.01.2022 Well thats it folks, were sold out Saturday night! Thanks so much for all the support - stay tuned for our next gorgeous show coming soon on April 4th

24.01.2022 Hello dear friends and fellow music lovers. We are needing to move ourselves to a new Page on Facebook because the giants in Facebook land have decided that we are no longer approved to promote our shows (believing us to be a housing or credit opportunity..?!) And this is hurting us because we just can't get the word out about our shows any more. So, we will still keep this page open - after all it is our archive with photos and events telling our story, but we will do our a...dvertising and promotions over here from now on.. https://www.facebook.com/stoneponywillunga/ Please come and join us, we appreciate your support for this little, big-hearted not-for-profit music space more than we can say. Thank you! Team Stone Pony xx

24.01.2022 Dear friends, in just a few weeks we will gather the lamps, light the candles, make a bar and bring in the sound for the first time in almost a year of hiatus. And we couldn’t be happier to start the year with the postponed Pony launch of Steve Lennox’ new album ‘In The Lighter Dark’ - a moving collection of songs based around the stories of his family’s lighthouse keeping lives. Created in collaboration with Jen Lush, and performed with his band ‘The Keepers’ - some of Adel...aide’s finest musicians, Steve Lennox’ evocative storytelling is infused with prose, hooky rhythms and striking melodies and explores lives lived at the edge of the world. Tickets are limited and are selling fast (only 20 left) so jump on the link below, and in the meantime, here’s a snippet from the album launch in September at The Wheaty. See you there! https://www.ticketebo.com.au//february-steve-lennox-the-ke

23.01.2022 The sounds of Anna Smyrk and her stunning trio stilled the room at February’s Stone Pony concert. Divine harmonies, gorgeous instrumentation and songs that stay in the heart. And the voice of Anna Smyrk, clear, honest - at once chiming with high peaks of silver then flooding with warm tones that wind in and through the spaces.

A triple treat featuring The Lonesome Dannies, Lisa Richards and Tom Redwood. So who are the Lonesome Dannies? Read on folks... they are a cosmic collab between South Australia's divine duo The Yearlings, Victoria's Americana stalwarts The Stetson Family and Tracy McNeil & the Goodlife. Chris, Robyn, Nad and Bree fuse their originals and sprinkle t...he set with some desert island songs by their favourite artists. Then theres the amazing Lisa Richards with a voice described as both ferocious and sweet and a percussive guitar style, writing songs of longing, loss, love and hope, borrowing from the traditions of folk, blues and jazz while carving out her own musical corner of the world. And finally Tom Redwood who is a rare and brilliant treat for the ears. His songs grab you immediately and Redwood is so damn eloquent and enigmatic with his lyrics that the mental places he conjures will have you moved. Come hear for yourselves!

07.01.2022 Well that’s it folks, we’re sold out Saturday night! Thanks so much for all the support - stay tuned for our next gorgeous show coming soon on April 4th

07.01.2022 First Stone Pony for the year will feature this beautiful band of folks - The Cherry Pickers! With a complete bluegrass band line up of fiddle, mandolin, guitar, dobro, upright bass and banjo, they create sounds and textures that stir emotions as well as keep the foot tapping. Special bonds, both musical and personal, are formed when a band plays together for nearly two decades. These shine through in every performance and are obvious in the energy they create. Their latest ...critically acclaimed recording Hand Picked uncovers hidden bluegrass in songs you know and love, however their much anticipated next recording of originals, due for release in 2021, is their current focus. Having multiple song writers, each with their own styles makes for a diverse and refreshing bluegrass experience. Come check them out on the 13th Feb! Limited tickets here https://www.ticketebo.com.au//february-steve-lennox-the-ke

06.01.2022 Dear friends and folk from all over, Just want to post a little update from us here at Stone Pony, and to let you know that we are thinking of you and hope tha...t everyone is managing this strange time. We are missing our beautiful shows - the music and the wonderful audiences that we look so forward to seeing each month! We want you to know that we are watching closely as restrictions begin to ease and when it is safe and possible to get back on the Pony, we will, and you'll be the first to know. At the moment we need to have things almost 'as they used to be' for us to be able to run live music in the Show Hall again, with a minimum of 60 people to cover all of the costs involved. So, we are hoping to be able to do this in the next couple of months, all things going as well as they are. In the meantime, we will showcase the artists who we would have had come play if we hadn't had to shut our doors. And first up, Ben Roberts (Ukulele Death Squad and The Timbers band) who would have hit the stage in April. We'll check in with another of our missed artists soon! Love and care to you, Jen @ Stone Pony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BArUqzSrfew

06.01.2022 Howdy all of you friendly folk and bluegrass loving folksters, this one here is for you. The incredible and charming Cherry Pickers will kick off the 13th Feb with their captivating and clever originals and re-worked traditional tunes, followed by the wondrous Steve Lennox & The Keepers, belatedly launching his new album of songs inspired by his lighthouse keeping family. It’ll be so beautiful, come join us under the fairy lights and settle in for some live music magic!
