23.01.2022 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 that 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

A member of national ABC radio programme The Coodabeen Champions for 37 years, nowadays Greg does guest speaking, where hes classified as a De-Motivational Speaker. A four time runner-up in the Australian Underachiever Awards, Greg has no criminal record. ... Get your tickets here before it sells out.. https://www.ticketebo.com.au/stone/march-greg-champion.html

16.01.2022 Dear friends, buying music online is a pretty great way to hear new sounds whilst staying home - and for the next few hours online music platform Bandcamp will be waiving their own revenue and giving artists 100% of the proceeds of every sale. A very welcome thing for many artists who rely on their income from music. Go here and search out new stuff or your favourites, youve got until midnight for this beautiful deal supporting the music community. https://bandcamp.com

16.01.2022 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

15.01.2022 Hello dear friends, Its time to give you the next artist that we would have had the good fortune of hearing on the Stone Pony stage.. Melbourne based Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife were just beginning their fifth studio album tour of You Be The Lightning when things were brought to an abrupt halt this year. We hope to bring this incredible Indie Americana band back when things allow us to do so, but in the meantime, here is a taster of McNeils most recent video Not like a Brother You Be The Lightning is her most realised and well executed to date stepped so strongly in a sound that references Fleetwood Mac, Gram Parsons and all the while pure McNeil proof of her standing as a world-class songwriter.
