Sherman Connelly & War Pony

Lead guitarist and vocals for the band, Sherman Connelly from Vian, Oklahoma, had a vision of what he wanted his band to sound like. He wanted to stay true to his Native American heritage and after winning The Great Arkansas Talent Search in Little Rock, Arkansas in 2010, he quickly assembled his band with friends he had known and even played with for many years - his cousin Justin Graham on rhythm guitar, Preston Postoak on drums, and Jay Billie on bass guitar.

They wasted no time getting into the studio with InfarRed Records in Little Rock, Arkansas, to start working on their first CD, self titled WAR PONY that is set to be released in early 2012. The cd itself is a mixture of a rockin' red dirt sound with bluesy undertones. This very cd was sent to Virgin Records and meetings with the major label are set to take place in November of 2011; but, no matter what happens, label or no label, this band of "Indians" just want to get out there and do what they do best . . . PLAY - and they will be coming to a town near you soon!
