APB is: Ashley Pond - Vocals and Guitar, Sarah Clark - Bass and Keyboards, Scott Smith - Drums.
A singer before she could speak, Ashley Pond has a musical presence you'll have to hear to believe. Though Pond will sing just about anywhere for anyone, she manages to maintain the subtle mystery of a heavy heart, casting out her rolling rant, reeling in and recounting experiences from her own life.
Ashley Pond left her small hometown just north of the Adirondack Mountains to study music in Albany, NY. It was only a matter of time before Pond had written and recorded her debut solo album, entitled Dala, released late September 2007.
Pond was joined by drummer Scott Smith and bassist Sarah Clark just weeks before the release of Dala. From early on this self sufficient trio, known as the Ashley Pond Band, proved their ability to disarm audiences with their sonic intimacy, only to throw them against a wall of sound at their most powerful, thus engaging an unexpected variety of audiences.
The Ashley Pond Band has traveled from North Country mountain bars to New York City rock clubs. They've played to hushed historic cafes, as well as an audience of 2,000 plus when they opened for Grammy winning artist, Aimee Mann.
The Ashley Pond Band recently completed work on their forthcoming album entitled "The Warning", with a release date set for Saturday June 13th, 2009. To celebrate the release, APB will be performing the album, with help from area musicians, at Valentine's Music Hall (17 New Scotland Ave., Albany, NY) on the date of the release.
