BOVINA – Livestock Foundation is thrilled to announce that Daria Grace and the Pre-War Ponies will play live on Saturday, October 4, at Creamery Park Pavilion in Bovina. Music starts at 5:30 PM, and it is FREE to attend.
The Pre-War Ponies was formed in 2007 by Daria Grace, who wanted to put to use her growing collection of sheet music and repertoire of not-quite hits from the 20s, 30s and 40s. She quickly recruited her old friend, trombonist and soprano uke player J. Walter Hawkes to be a part of the madness, and they have become the core duo of the band.
The Pre-War Ponies see no reason to re-hash standards that have already been done so beautifully so many times; they like to dig a little deeper. You have likely heard of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Johnny Mercer, but you probably haven't heard some of their underrated chestnuts. There are plenty of gems from that golden era by the likes of Fred Ahlert, Joe Young, Chas Tobias, and Eddie Jones, none of whom are exactly household names, but maybe should be.
The concert is part of the fifth annual Cowtown Scramble vintage baseball festival, where 11 teams from 6 states face off over two days, Saturday and Sunday, October 4 & 5. There will be BBQ for sale from Baby Smoker all day Saturday during the games from 10 AM to 5:30 PM, and during the concert from 5:30 PM to 7 PM.
Location: Creamery Park Pavilion, 1394 County Highway 6, Bovina, NY 13740
