Sky-Pony at the Living Room

Do not confuse Sky-Pony with the hundreds of other Brooklyn bands dotting the music club circuit. Although the band’s music has a bit of the indie sound, Sky-Pony is more of a contemporary cabaret act. Vocalist Lauren Worsham is an outstanding singer and her husband, Obie-Award winning keyboardist Kyle Jarrow, have created a show that includes catchy pop songs, costumes, props and choreography. The band has recorded two EPs.

Sky-Pony performed a rare unplugged concert at the Living Room tonight. Minus the blaring rock background and backed by piano, acoustic guitar, upright bass and cello, the trio of singers – Worsham with Jessi Suzuki and Megan Stern – became the incarnation of female pop vocal trios of the 1960s. The set featured original songs, but the covers were equally impressive, especially a French version of the Shangri-Las “Leader of the Pack” and Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs’ “Little Red Riding Hood.” Sky-Pony performs at Pianos on September 21.
