Stone Pony has been in existence since September 1999.The band was formed by Andy Graham with the original intent of playing early electric American Blues. Over time the set lists have evolved and whilst blues can still often be a major feature, lots of other styles are now also performed including Rock, Soul, Pop, Reggae, Americana and Rock and Roll. The band therefore can switch from pure blues sets to non-blues sets dependent on what the venue/event requires or perhaps the mood the band is in.
The line-up of the band varies as Andy has bases in Hampshire, Norfolk and Normandie, France.
The Hampshire line-up is usually Andy Graham (guitar and vocals), Steve Ronberts (bass and backing vocals), Ronnie Taylor (sax) and Stuart Marshall (drums).
In Norfolk, frequent band members are sons Jake Graham (drums or bass) and Luke Graham (guitar).
In Normandie most gigs are solo performances.
Whatever the line up though the band always consists of top quality players.
The band has an extensive repertoire of currently approaching 1000 songs but pride themselves that the songs are performed in a flexible “jam-like” approach. Songs can often sound different from gig to gig subject to what ideas spring up spontaneously from the musicians or perhaps feeding from the atmosphere of the gig. This makes the band extremely flexible and responsive, making a dynamic and exciting chemistry between the musicians.
Incidentally, the name Stone Pony comes from a Charlie Patton song recorded in 1934 called Stone Pony Blues.

Duos and Solos
Stone Pony sometimes perform in duo format and Andy performs as a solo artist too in his own right. Duo and solo formats are ideal for small intimate venues, house parties, including barbeques, and restaurants. Much of the band repertoire converts well to duo and solo performances, but more diverse material can be played as well. The duo line ups can vary and also theme nights such as Beatles, Bob Dylan and Elvis can be performed.
