Head on over to American Songwriter for a limited download of, “If Only He Were You,” a left-field waltz that mixes spaghetti western guitar riffs with ‘80s keyboards and Dusty Springfield-worthy pop melodies. Adam Landry and Justin Collins, the production team behind albums by Deer Tick and Middle Brother, tracked the song in Nashville, capturing everything in “pretty much one take.” Deer Tick’s keyboardist, Robbie Crowell, makes an appearance, and singer/songwriter Carey Kotsionis beefs up Bradanini’s vocals with a little harmony.” http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/10/song-premiere-pony-boy-if-only-he-were-you/
Tune into abc at 10/9c to hear the new tune, If Only He Were You, on Betrayal. More new music coming soon!
I’m emerging from the studio to play a few solo tunes at The Family Wash in East Nashville. I’ll be debuting some new jamz and along w Charlie Greene and Nashville’s finest, Los Colognes.
Her latest single is “Greatest Unknown”, where her sultry voice bleeds with a darkness that lingers like smoke in an empty bar. Combining the styles of new and old, complete with an unexpected Warren G reference, the video uses a palette of traffic light colours to striking effect as Pony Boy plays her haunting melodies to an unseen audience.

Pony Boy is Cali-bred badass Marchelle Bradanini, who creates ’50s-inspired rock’n’roll with a touch of woe.
Let’s set the record straight: Pony Boy is not a slicked-back greaser who’s about to take his sweetheart on a drive down to teenage tragedyville. Pony Boy is actually doom wop chanteuse Marchelle Bradanini, a blonde bombshell with candy apple red lipstick and usually sporting a leather jacket who could probably get a rebel without a cause to stir up some mayhem just for her.
Check out full interview here where we talk about her many inspirations and why her next track sounds like a party in a graveyard.
