The Cow Ponies @ The Sofie Show (A Benefit at the Zizzo Group), Fri., 4.21.17

Almost all of us in the band have pets, and two of us got our beloved cat Indie from the Wisconsin Humane Society about 11 years ago. He’s a Bombay, he’s gorgeous and smart and hilarious, and we couldn’t imagine our lives without him.  

It is for this reason and more that we are a thousand percent thrilled and honored to be performing at The Second Annual Sofie Show, a benefit for the Wisconsin Humane Society and the brainchild of Dan Augustine, a Milwaukee designer who wanted to show props after adopting his beloved dog Sofie there.

The Sofie Show is a gallery show with art pieces for sale (created by artists all over the U.S.!), live music (us!), and beer (Hinterland!). All at the Zizzo Group, at the corner of N. Milwaukee & E. Chicago in the Third Ward neighborhood of Milwaukee. (Actual address for your GPS: 207 N. Milwaukee St.)

Much love to Lisa Ridgely for introducing us to Dan and getting us involved. We’ll be starting at 6 p.m. when The Sofie Show opens, taking a break somewhere around 7:30, then playing on until 9 p.m., when the event ends.

Suggested donation at the door: 5 bucks. Hope 2 C U there!

The Cow Ponies w/ Chris Head & The Honchos @ Kochanski’s, Sat., 4.8.17

Hey guys! This Saturday night we’re honored to be on the bill with Chris Head & The Honchos as they celebrate the release of their new CD, “Chicken Wire” (see below; great cover). We met Chris and the boys last August at the Gram Parsons 70th Birthday Bash at Linneman’s last August (we sure made a lotta good friends at that show) and were wholeheartedly impressed by their power trio-ness. And Chris’s wardrobe. Man. Come check it out. The Ponies’ll also be showcasing two new songs: one a twangy Beatle-esque original by John, the other our take on a Rodney Crowell 80s classic, both perfect for slow-groove dancing.

Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall is located at 1920 S. 37th Street in Milwaukee. We’ve also booked some new gigs in June and August that we’ll share with you very soon. Love you love you!
