Spotted Pony by Jonathan Vocke
This two finger banjo album is a result of a sound which I first heard in my head while in India in late 2019. Due to the pandemic, I had the many hours of solitude needed to pursue and foster this sound, resulting in the below tracks. The process of preparing for this recording was incredibly rewarding and, upon completion, quite obviously only the first step.
