McMillan Concert Series - Ponyfolk in Concert
Ponyfolk was formed in 2014 by Clifton Nesseth (vocals, strings, guitar, synth/keys) and Paul Sauey (vocals, strings, guitar, bass). Based out of Duluth and Minneapolis, MN, the pair’s multi-instrumentalist abilities and vocal harmonies have carved them out a reputation of creating maximalist soundscapes that are defined by droning layers of guitars, strings, and synth textures - undergirding emotionally evocative lyrical imagery. Over the last few years, the band has expanded to include Aaron Hays (drums), Alex Nelson (keyboards), Mikey Marget (cello), and Lewis Franti (percussion). The band will be releasing their debut LP on February 22nd, a celebration of traditional Americana and Nordic folk music. Performing in various configurations and styles, Ponyfolk's music always keeps a foot planted firmly in the ethos of the folk traditions while stepping forward into new sounds and musical terrains. Ponyfolk's music has been described as “the dark side of Simon & Garfunkel” and “early Pink Floyd mixed with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.”
