Prescott-based musical favorites Ponderosa Grove played their final local show of 2023 at the historic Elks Theatre & Performing Arts Center Sept. 29, debuting several new songs they’re now recording for release in 2024. Opening act The Cross-Eyed Possum welcomed the audience with the trio’s jazz-infused bluegrass before Candace Devine, Drew Hall, Cozzy Bohrman, Gregory Gonaway and Zach Dominguez unleashed their vocal and instrumental talent on a blend of rock, country and soul that’s been compared to a “contemporary Fleetwood Mac.” Devine is also the creator of the Pure Imagination Music Festival held at Watson Lake.
