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.
