Danielle Ponder

Friday, August 18, 8pm

Don't miss Danielle Ponder’s refreshingly original, shiver-inducing mix of pop, R&B, blues, rock, and moody trip-hop topped by her celestial voice — an instrument that can plumb melancholy depths and scrape the sky with hurricane-force wails — when she plays the Hunter Center this month.
