Sugar Ponies live on WFMU
Live performance and chat with Sugar Ponies (Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern)
 
San Franciscans Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern have been the creative core of this folk-rock group since 2009. Kramer's voice might remind you of Lucinda Williams but she has a unique way of phrasing lyrics with a strength and tenderness behind them. McGovern counts XTC's Andy Partridge and Pete Townsend as guitar influences, and he has a Skywalker Ranch connection as well. Their latest disc, "It's a Sign," was produced by the great Ed Stasium, who worked with The Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens, and Living Colour. Suzanne and Michael from Sugar Ponies played some of their tunes live for WFMU.

Kate - Top10 ConceptRawkers, Joni Top10 Writers, Sandy Top10 Singers.
I suppose Sandy, Linda & Shirley Collins all (searches for word)...archetypal, elemental UK Folk voices.

Irene, your show is my favorite on FMU because it soothes my savage breast. I just moved to NYC and started a new job and it's been a little rough but these lovely sounds have helped lift my spirits!

Luncinda still qualifies this set as a nominee :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:30pm
Irene Trudel:

Thanks Van! Maybe I'll get to Meg or Sharon later. We have a live set coming up from Sugar Ponies first. Bronwyn, good luck with your new adventures in NYC. It's a big step but I hope the music helps. And Hello to you, KP & Rev. Rabbit!

I don't know what their full sound is like (yet) but I love the simple acoustics of this live set. Even with the restarts :)

Irene Trudel:

Yes, oops, caught me! I missed an edit! THis was recorded in July, and I guess I got distracted listening back to it. It's easy to fall into her voice. I'll play a couple of their full band recordings shortly.

Okay so play Meg, or Sharon, or Cocteau Twins, or This Mortal Coil, or Steeleye Span, or another Sandy (Fairport) or even something from Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and REALLY blow my mind. Or Toyah. Or Kitaro. Or...oh never mind :)

THANK YOU IRENE for an incredible birthday present!

You are so incredible.
