Description

A night of great music, dancing and fun. Hilltop Spiritual Center welcomes Side Pony back to ring in the new year!!! "Alice Wallace is the singing and yodeling songwriter from the West Coast that has captured many in a trance with her solo career, and Caitlin Cannon caught us all off guard with the pluck and attitude of her last album The TrashCannon Album that earned the rare 9.5 rating here at Saving Country Music. Who saw them conjoining in Nashville and starting a super duo? That’s what we have with Side Pony, and we’re here for it." - Saving Country Music's Most Anticipated Albums for Last of 2021 From the moment they first sang together, Alice Wallace and Caitlin Cannon knew they had something, they just didn’t know what to call it. The “lovely harmony,” extolled by The Boot after the release of their first single, “Lucky Break,” in April 2021, describes musical kismet that can’t be manufactured or even learned. As artists with vastly different styles and personalities, the pair recognized there was strength in the depth of their differences. A shared love for a heartbreaking hook and punchy turn of phrase led to an album’s worth of co-written songs that deftly straddle the line between class and crass. This demanded they finally put a name to that intangible something between them--they call that thing Side Pony.  The release date for the Side Pony debut album is October 8, 2021. The release, also entitled Lucky Break, was recorded in the East Nashville studio of producer/guitarist Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin/John Hiatt/Todd Snider.) It features eight original tracks that ooze swagger and sweetness and lean into the “neo” of neo-country. “Alice Wallace is a powerhouse of a singer, in the classic definition,” says Lancio, who spent 14 years playing guitar with Patty Griffin, and produced her critically acclaimed 2002 album 1000 Kisses. “I’ve wanted to work on a record with her since I first heard her voice. Alice introduced me to her collaborator/co-writer Caitlin, and turns out, Caitlin has an equally compelling voice with a distinct personality. It’s rare enough to work with singers of this caliber on their own, let alone have both of them singing material they’ve discovered together.”  When Wallace and Cannon first went into the studio to record the song “Lucky Break” in late 2020 with Lancio, he brought in Nashville ringers Chris Autry (Josh Turner) on bass, drummer Bryan Owings (Emmylou Harris), and Danny Mitchell on keys to bring the song to life. But when the duo went back in May to record the remaining 7 tracks on the full album, they invited their Nashville bandmates Andrew Sovine (Ashley McBryde/Wynonna/Kelsey Waldon) on guitar, bassist Caleb Mundy, and Erin Nelson (Ian Noe) on drums to capture the energy and camaraderie of their live shows. With additional accompaniment from Michael Webb (Poco/Hank Williams Jr/John Fogerty) on keys and Dan Dugmore (Linda Ronstadt/James Taylor) on pedal steel, it was a chance for Cannon and Wallace to record with some of the best Nashville has to offer.  Hilltop Spiritual Center provides spiritual tools for personal growth, wherever you are on your spiritual path, you are welcome here.
