These 3 oddly ordinary guys, bring the unconventional to the stage, in the form of
1 drum kit, 2 trombones,
4 synthesizers, 1 vocoder, lots of pedals and cords and wires, and quite often, live projections.
Their tracks are all originals and completely unplanned. Their songs are created as they collaborate during live sessions. A highly creative musical banter so to speak. Song titles present themselves during this process, as history, current and events, and plans for the future are woven together, allowing them to evolve as musicians, friends, and cavemen.
3 childhood friends, originally from Ramsey New Jersey, who began playing together in Brooklyn NY in 1999. They now call Beacon home.
They are everything that you’ve never expected. they are PONTOON.

A blend of powerhouse vocals, poetic lyrics, and melodies to soothe the soul… Logan Callahan is a musician who seeks to blur genre lines while performing, switching from radio pop to ’90s grunge covers in a single set. His original music seeks to accomplish this same feat by avoiding labels and letting every tone speak for itself. With influences ranging from Jeff Buckley to Chris Cornell and a hint of Prince, Callahan is sure to keep audiences on their toes.
Logan Callahan released his debut album, All My Mistakes, in January 2017 to reviews highlighting an “impassioned voice that has the weight of the world on its young shoulders” (Ioan Humphreys, Louder Than War) and “offering the listener a blanket in which to keep their legs warm whilst allowing the vaguely mournful, predominately acoustic guitar led, sounds to drip over the ears” (Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands Blog)
Logan Callahan has made in-show appearances on both Radio Woodstock’s Locally Grown and Massachusetts’ WTBR. Both performances saw Callahan adding an acoustic edge to his own material and selectively chosen cover songs from artists such as Jeff Buckley, Todd Rundgren, Queensryche, Godsmack and more. Logan Callahan was also voted as a winner of New York’s WRRV Hudson Valley Homegrown showcase for the 2017 Record Store Day held at Poughkeepsie NY’s Darkside Records.
Logan Callahan is currently working on material for his second album all the while broadening the moods and style of his music to give everyone something to enjoy.
