A little Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Rollingstones, CCR, the Blues, with a raspy powered engine of a little girl with a goddess sent voice, a caffeine-buzzed Nina Simone.
Blackbird Pond is Luisa (v), Jim (g/v), Sam (d), and John (b).
----The band formed when they decided that they needed extra spice in their everyday lives. They needed something more than the 9-5 workday and Sam was just plain tired of making donuts early in the morning everyday! So, with a trip to a Goodwill shop for their instruments, they decided to form a band that will bring excitement and escape for them as well as other innocent bystanders close by.
A few years later and after many gigs (including road trip gigs with barely enough money for gas and lodging), they finally created a buzz that is well earned! Blackbird Pond toured up and down the east coast and no place was unreachable. They even performed in Boone, NC during a winter storm driving to the venue with top speed of 5 miles per hour through a thick fog along side a mountain cliff.
Blackbird Ponds sound is Rock with commanding riffs, rump-shacking blues, soul leads, and a raspy powered engine goddess sent voice. Their music is a gumbo mix of Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Rollingstones, and Nina Simone. To top it off, Luisa's stage presence ,with the likes of Tina Turner and Mick Jagger, makes them a treat and delight to watch. Shes not shy on stage though she is off stage!
Blackbird Pond's standing ovation performance in New York City shows the bands talent, dedication and passion for music. Its easy to see why they have many great songs that are crossing over different genres and demographics. For instance, their soulful/bluesy song "Brown Bag struck a nerve with local fans who voted the song to be ALL THAT during the segment DIS or ALL THAT on a local top 40 radio station. Roll Daddy, the bands 2nd crossed-over song was played on a popular hip-hop station; with all the attention brewing, a DJ from California called the band to play their songs on the 4th largest radio station in Los Angeles. Blackbird Pond recently completed the first phase of their album entitled www.blackbirdpond.com and will continue their tour and take on new projects.

"The guitar riffs change from smooth grooves to commanding power, but always puts the listener in a trance. The singer is full of shivering emotional moods, heartfelt sensitivity and freight train howls. The rhythm section is soulful, always moving, and ready to break a song down to a gusty, emotional presence." - VOICE of Hampton Roads.
