Pony Bradshaw in concert!

This will be a limited seat show with only 60 tickets being sold, $12 each

Singer-songwriter and storyteller Pony Bradshaw has released his Rounder debut Sudden Opera.

The album is available here.

Pony born James Bradshaw moved around a lot as a kid. A military brat born in Mississippi, he logged time around the country. Today, hes settled in Georgia, and more than anywhere else hes ever been, its home. After the Air Force showed him the door at 21 years old, he drifted, until the music he found more than a decade later became his anchor.

NPR and others tapped Bradshaw as one to watch a couple of years ago. Global streaming service Amazon Music has also raised its hand in support of Bradshaw, adding previously released tracks from Sudden Opera to their global Americana playlist Brushland and the Fresh Folk & Americana playlist. He has taken his time, determined to accurately capture the art hed only recently realized he was incubating. Sudden Opera is the rewarding result. Bradshaw wrote all of the songs alone.

Sudden Opera has garnered critical praise: AllMusic says, Sudden Opera makes a case for creative late bloomers, as Bradshaw arrives on the scene seemingly in full bloom with plenty to say.
