From the muddy waters of Ireland’s deep south come One Horse Pony, a four piece roots outfit whose DNA might be traced to the swamp lands of Louisiana, smouldering with earthy Cajun tones and raucous intent. Roots virtuosi One Horse Pony are already veterans of Electric Picnic, the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival, the Kilkenny Roots Festival, Indiependence and more. They’ve performed shows with musical royalty such as The Blind Boys of Alabama on their travels. Their adventures have brought them television appearances, a critically acclaimed European tour, a raucous headlining of the 7 Hills Blues Festival, their own show at the iconic Glebe Gardens venue in West Cork, and opening the main stage at the final Townlands Carnival. Celebrating their own original roots music, One Horse Pony showcases acoustic virtuosity and potent vocal harmonies allied to brain-melting high-octane mayhem, for live shows which have to be seen (and felt!) to be believed.

One Horse Pony are:
Rob Foley - Guitar/Vocals
Kevin Morrison - Harmonica/Vocals
Tim O' Leary - Bass/Vocals
Chris O’Sullivan - Drums
