The Ponies (Elliot Randall and Heather Combs) is a newly formed acoustic duo on the San Francisco music scene. With distinctive styles of their own; Elliot is known for his Americana breakout band Elliot Randall and the Deadmen, and Heather is a powerful voice in San Francisco's singer/sonwriter scene having shared stages with everyone from Tom Petty to Sheryl Crow. Heather and Elliot found they had created a musical experience steeped in red dirt and the front porch. After a couple of late night sessions and some cold beers it was settled, Elliot and Heather have firmly planted their wayward roots in The Ponies.
