The Brownville Concert Series will welcome The Toasted Ponies in October. The show will be in cabaret on Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 11, at 2:00 p.m. Sponsors are Richard and Alexandria McMullen, David and Nicole Kaufman, and The J. Randel Smith & Jane Crooker Smith Charitable Trust.

The Toasted Ponies combine the best of both traditional and contemporary bluegrass music.

Look for great harmony singing and hot instrumentals in a typical Ponies performance. These musicians are seasoned professionals who love playing their music and it shows. They will play everyone’s bluegrass favorites along with a fun mix of Cajun, Western Swing, Gospel and Celtic tunes just to keep things interesting. Just try seeing the Ponies show without tapping your toes – it can’t be done!

The Toasted Ponies, featuring Steve Hanson (banjo, mandolin, guitar and vocals), Pam Barger (guitar, mandolin and vocals), Terry Keefe (fiddle, mandolin, and vocals), Randy Barger (guitar and vocals) and Jim Pipher (bass and vocals), play award winning bluegrass as well as country, Celtic, Cajun and original tunes.

They have three recordings: “Bluegrass of Champions,” “Pine Creek Crossing,” and “Why The Long Face?”
