Interview: Real Ponchos

Scattered across the Northerh Hemisphere, country-rock outfit Real Ponchos will be assembling on Friday night (Feb 10th) for a good old fashioned night of live music celebrating their same-day release To the Dusty World. Though they've been playing together since at least 2013, the last few years have seen Emlyn move internationally to Scotland, and Emile to the quiet coastal Maine Island, but the musical chemistry is a strong enough thread to keep the band tied together despite the distance. If you haven't heard Real Ponchos before, check out their new single & album on Bandcamp below. They straddle the modern frontier of country music and the tradition of the genre in perfect balance. The music evokes the beautiful landscape and mood of the geography for which it's named - way out in the rolling hills and big sky of the country side.
