The Scoop
Pony Bradshaw Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM ADVANCED: $17.00 DAY OF: $20.00 ALL AGES STANDING ROOM ONLY A voracious reader, Bradshaw credits his talent for expressing such rich details in his songs not so much to other songwriters but instead to books, fiction, short stories, essays, and literary criticism. With such colorful descriptions as �teeth stained red with Lebanese wine, long hair � in sweeps of oil blacker than a cypress pool,� one might assume he bases the subjects of his songs on real-life people he interacts with in North Georgia; instead, Bradshaw describes them as �nameless characters� compiled from �fragments� he�s collected, pieces that usually start with just a line or two. These fragments all add up to a remarkably cohesive 10-song collection, despite Bradshaw being a self-professed admirer of (and writer of) the non-sequitur. This is thanks in no small part to his own masterful vocal delivery and the expert musicianship of his backing band, one that includes the aforementioned Stewart and Bronchtein with Robert Green on bass, Ryan Moore on drums, and Jenna Mobley on fiddle.
