RELEASED 23.1.2011
New West Records is proud to introduce Ponderosa, a rock and roll band hailing from Atlanta, GA. Ponderosa culls their sound from soulful, southern roots, while citing influences from The Rolling Stones and The Faces to The Black Crowes and Tom Petty. Ponderosa’s debut album Moonlight Revival due out January 18, 2011 on New West Records was produced by Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, My Morning Jacket) at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, TN and mixed by Russ Fowler (John Mayer, Stone Temple Pilots). Ponderosa brings together the talents of Nash with Kris Sampson (lead guitar), Jonathan Hall (bass, vocals) and John Dance (keys, vocals) for a solid mix of rock and soul that stands up both recorded and in their live shows. The band whose set the Austin Chronicle describes as “long on gritty intensity,” is currently on the road with Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights.
