Seers Poncho

About Me

Seers Poncho's origin dates back to 1999 when a group of friends, all of whom happened to be musicians, decided to get together to "see what happens." Over the years, a rootsy brand of pop rock influenced by reggae, blues, classic rock, soul and jazz emerged. This fusion of styles and unique approach to creating music has helped Seers Poncho become one of the more distinctive bands on the Chicago scene.

Seers Poncho proudly supports Rock for Kids!

Rock For Kids is a non-profit organization that provides support, inspiration and assistance to children that are homeless or in need. Committed to the dignity of our children, Rock For Kids works with families and organizations to positively impact and celebrate young lives.
