The Pre-War Ponies play an old-timey jazz-swingy style of music that is perfect for Barbes. Daria Grace has a beautiful voice and surrounds herself with talented players that complement her style wonderfully. The piano player provided a hot ragtime injection and the guitar player responded ably to every call for a solo. They opened with “Give Me the Moon Over Brooklyn,” which I found myself singing [terribly] on my way home tonight, and continued to play songs in the same style that I did not recognize, but thoroughly enjoyed.
The Pre-War Ponies are an excellent choice for the early weekend show at Barbes, and I hope they keep playing there. I wouldn’t mind running into them again.
Next up: Surprise Me Mr. Davis w/ Marco Benevento with The Low Anthem @ the Bell House tomorrow (today), 8/26.
