Nordic ensemble Ponyfolk features multi-instrumentalists Clifton Nesseth and Paul Sauey. Weaving together interests in folk, rock, jazz and orchestral music, the band is known for intricate arrangements, vocal harmonies and layers of strings and keyboards. Initially formed as a duo in 2014, the group now includes Aaron Hays on drums and Alex Nelson on keyboards. Ponyfolk performs in a variety of configurations, deftly transitioning between a traditional Nordic group and a folk-rock band depending on the occasion. Ponyfolk collaborated with Ross Thorn for a holiday EP in December. A traditional Nordic album was released in February.
