Details
Ponderosa Grove is a band born out of the artistic tapestry of Prescott, Arizona. Whether they’re performing as an acoustic trio featuring Candace Devine, Drew Hall, and Joshua Taylor or in their full 6- piece set up with Cosimo Bohrman, Zach Dominguez and Gigi Gonaway in tow this collective brings a warm and inviting sound that has been compared to a contemporary Fleetwood Mac or Queen… with electric stage presence, tight harmonies, and groovy vibe like no other.
The band features a group of musicians that bring a wealth of creativity and diverse influences on its lineup. A songwriter on the Grammy-nominated Wild Heart by Mindi Abair, lead vocalist Devine has opened for and worked with artists from Ringo Starr and Christina Aguilera to Adam Lambert, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Michelle Branch, Styx, and more, as well as singing for television, feature films, and the National Anthem for multiple NBA teams. Through her company Further West, Devine is also the founder of The Pure Imagination Festival which featured Dawes, Talib Kweli, Fantastic Negrito, Rising Appalachia, Katie Pruitt, Nikki Lane, Ponderosa Grove and many more in 2022. An exciting lineup for 2023 is about to be announced.
Lead guitarist and vocalist Hall has worked on a variety of successful projects including THiS Trio, the Latin/Flamenco inspired band Summa Totius, Northern Arizona staple The Cheektones, Big Daddy D and The Dynamites (which he co-founded), as well as worked with R&B sax pioneer Joe Houston, Ed Carter (The Beach Boys), and Eddie Watkins Jr. (Temptations, Marvin Gaye).
