ABOUT

Tina Collins (acoustic guitar, tenor banjo, vocals) is the heart and soul of the Asheville-based music project and will be playing solo in concert, as part of her international “Marigolds Album Release Tour”, which runs February through October of 2023, and includes shows ranging from San Francisco, CA to Berlin, Germany and all points in between, including Roanoke, VA.

“Tina & Her Pony deliver a gentle folk music that inexorably swells into a powerful wave. The songs themselves carry a gentle wisdom that invigorates the listener. Tina & Her Pony truly commit to a kind of chamber folk that feels as timeless as it does timely.”
– Rachel Cholst, NO DEPRESSION

Marigolds was recorded in Asheville, NC and includes musicians from several well known bands, Matt Smith (Pedal Steel) of Amy Ray Band, Andrea DeMarcus (upright bass) of Cicada Rhythm, Lyndsay Pruett (violin) of Jon Stickley Trio, & Kevin Williams (keys) of The Honeycutters. It was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign in Autumn 2022. Over 250 backers pledged $15,291 to help bring this project to life.

Marigolds is an album about the cyclical nature of change – of death and rebirth as initiation. After major losses, we are never the same, and we are asked by the universe to allow ourselves to die and to subsequently re-create a new version of ourselves. In Tina’s words “this album is a collection of songs that tells the stories of the ways I have personally been asked to let go.”

Tina & Her Pony, which formed in Asheville in 2009, is centered around the songwriting and singing of Tina Collins and is internationally known for their sweet harmonies and smooth, thoughtfully crafted instrumentation on cello, tenor banjo, and acoustic guitar and pedal steel. The new album builds on the foundation of this well established sound, while dabbling in new directions, adding a hint of pop and soul, with the sounds of electric bass, jazz organ and synth. Tina has been upending expectations and convention from early on. Her distinctive vocals and songwriting are the product of both a conservatory education and her taste in a wide variety of female artists like Gillian Welch, Jenny Lewis, Joni Mitchell & HAIM.
