Free concert-Tina and Her Pony
-
Indie Appalachian Folk music project Tina and Her Pony began in Asheville, North Carolina, USA in 2010. Shortly thereafter, she spent two years holed up in the high desert mountain town of Taos, New Mexico becoming one of the iconic artist colony’s most beloved performing acts.
“Even within the world of folk, Tina & Her Pony’s sound can’t be defined within a single culture or concept. What is undeniable, however, is the soul-stirring power of the music itself”.
- Andria Brown, Folk All Y’all
In a soundscape rich in folk and americana offerings Tina and Her Pony stands out with her clarity and freshness. Harmonies, arrangements, lyrics and captivating vocals combine to create something greater than the sum of the pieces which, taken individually, are deceptively straightforward. Her music chronicles complex emotional landscapes with the kind of wisdom and honesty required from roots music in its most distilled and cherished forms. The pandemic brought much change and loss to Tina’s world, and this is reflected in her fresh material, a collection of songs that comprises her newest record, “Marigolds” (2023).

The FENCE concert is sponsored by the Kirby Fund, will feature two "mature,"
in fact, 90 year old musicians, Joseph and Kathleen Erwin. They met while both were
students at The Juilliard School in New York City. After both graduated, Joe added
"Music Education" to his focus when he accepted Juilliard's invitation to join the faculty.
Joe says: This Fence program will be entitled; Transforming Life's Dissonance
into Consonance.
Like all Fence programs, no tickets are required and all are welcome to this hour of
music, followed by special refreshments.
