Bonepony is an American rock band, formed in the late 1980s by Scott Johnson and Bryan Ward in the Baltimore, MD area. By all accounts Bonepony began as a hard rock band, similar in style to Aerosmith. The band recorded a demo and toured sporadically. During the early 1990s, Bryan and Scott moved to Nashville, Tennessee and left their fellow bandmates behind. In Nashville, the two met Kenny Mims, and the three of them created a new sound for the band, mixing the acoustic power of Led Zeppelin III with similarly styled folk, bluegrass, and country influences.

In 1994 the band was signed to Capitol Records and released an album entitled Stomp Revival in Mid 1995. The band toured with some major acts during 1995-1996, including Bob Seger and Santana. During these touring years the band also featured Jason Dunaway on bass and Mickey Grimm on drums. During early 1996, Kenny Mims left the band and was replaced by former Walk The West fiddle/mandolin player Tramp. The band’s relationship with Capitol soured and they split with the label, releasing their second album, “Traveler’s Companion” on their own SuperDuperRecordings imprint. Sometime in late 1996, Jason and Mickey left the band, yet Johnson, Ward and Tramp soldiered on as a three piece. Traveler’s Companion continued with their brand of self-described “Power Folk” music and featured a guest vocal appearance by fellow alt-country pioneer Lucinda Williams. In mid-1999 Bryan Ward exited the fold and the band recruited Nick Nguyen to handle guitar duties. Bonepony continued to tour the US and Canada with a break-neck schedule of 200 plus dates a year.

    I love 'em. My kids love 'em. Very good music, both lyrically and instrumentally.

    I saw Bonepony at a bar show when I was in college in the late 90's. These guys are great! I'm a big bluegrass fan as well as good, southern rock. These guys blend the sounds of bluegrass (banjo, mandolin, dobro) with southern rock (bass and great guitar) with a little blues sound. I'm not sure what to call them...alt-country, folk rock, alt bluegrass, bluegrass rock...you make the call.

    I feel sad that this box is empty, so here's what I've got: I saw these guys 2 years ago at the Master Musicians Festival. They have one of the most fantastic live shows ever. And, even though one would think some of that atmosphere would be lost on CD, it is *not* in the slightest. My favorite song is Mend a Broken Heart. Carry on, Bonepony, carry on!
