Wild Ponies are unafraid to cross boundaries, determined to carry on a heritage thats been decades in the making. That independent streak also holds true for Doug and Telisha Williams, who take their band name from the small-but-mighty animal that roams their native Virginia highlands.
The married duos music draws on old-time tradition while embracing the fierce spirit of the songwriters who inspire them Hazel Dickens, Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams, to name a few. On tour, Doug swaps out acoustic and electric guitar, while Telisha plays upright bass. Often supported by a drummer, Wild Ponies dynamic live shows are assertive and engaging.
One of the comments we get more often than not is how much sound comes from our power trio, says Telisha Williams. I mean, theres a lot of sound because were both singing and sonically everythings covered. Weve got drums and big upright bass that covers the bottom end, which is a nice floor for everything.
