Wild Ponies (USA) plus Katy Rose Bennett

On Friday 28 June, Live In The Library Presents... welcomes Wild Ponies back to Thimblemill Library for the first time in over 7 years on the opening night of their UK tour, with our favourite local singer songwriter & vocal arranger Katy Rose Bennett opening the night.

WILD PONIES

Doug and Telisha Williams, the Nashville-based, country-roots musical duo known as Wild Ponies, have a mystical connection. Partners in every way, they have spent the last decade building more than just their careers as musicians - they've built a life. One they're wildly proud of and ready to share with the world. Their upcoming album, “Dreamers,” centers on exploration beyond the traditional nuclear family and into the community, joys, and heartbreaks they’ve experienced as part of a queer, polyamorous family undergoing fertility treatments and becoming foster parents in the state of Tennessee.

Their live shows, which have often totaled into the hundreds per year, are notoriously personal. No one is merely a spectator at a Wild Ponies show; there are only enthusiastic participants on a collective musical journey. Whether it’s Doug and Telisha with their acoustic guitar and upright bass, respectively, or a full rock ‘n’ roll outfit with drums and electric guitar, everyone is welcomed into the magic.

KATY ROSE BENNETT
