Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys have been kicking the dust off their heels since 2015. This has led them beyond the borders of their home county (Inner-West Sydney), around Australia and on two tours to the US. On top of their own sold-out shows in Sydney and Melbourne over the last couple of years they have also appeared at numerous Festivals including Boogie Festival, Meadow Fest, Festival of the Sun, Out On The Weekend, Ninchfest, Riverboats and Tamworth Country Music Festival.
The band released their debut album “Late Night Essentials” at the end of 2020. The record was named Album of the Week on FBi Radio and 2SER and, following a launch tour in 2021, they were named Best Live Act in NSW at the National Live Music Awards. In Australia they have also supported the likes of Orville Peck, The Nude Party, Tony Joe White, Hurray For The Riff Raff and The Felice Brothers.
2023 has shaped up to be a big year with the band hitting the road with Texan blues and Americana artist Charley Crockett on his first Australian tour at shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Following that will be the release of the second Caitlin Harnett & the Pony Boys album with an extensive tour behind it. Get ready once again to dance, laugh, cry, hear the unfiltered Caitlin stories first-hand and experience the joy in the room at one of their gigs. Giddy Up!a

“Harnett wants to make you smile; she doesn’t want you to cry in your beer, but rather slam it down and and boogie.”Newcastle Herald
