Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum are widely regarded as being among the preeminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time. Together, Laurie and Tom perfectly balance each other’s voices, and Tom’s sometimes-quirky and always deeply musical mandolin playing provides the ideal counterpoint to Laurie’s original compositions.

The Show Ponies are an indie-folk band from Los Angeles with old time and bluegrass tendencies.They “embody all the raw energy and enthusiasm inherent in the genre, fortified with on-target lyrics and a refreshingly modern sensibility,” says PopMatters. Folk Alley praises their “bouncy, fervent energy that’s starting to make waves.”
