Reecy Pontiff

Reecy Pontiff's southern-fried vaudeville sound began while performing smutty songs in New Orleans burlesque shows in 2009. Now this professional vagabond spends her summers as a Colorado Springs Jeep tour guide; the rest of the year she roams the globe with her 8-string ukulele. Reecy has lived in seven time zones on three continents.

Reecy presents candid, tragicomic topics from her unusual wayfaring existence in the form of toe-tapping tunes such as, “(I Liked You Better When) You Were on the Drugs.” Interspersed are gritty, heart-wrenching ballads like “Queen of the Birds on a Wire.” In her live shows she favors oddball covers like Brittany Spears' “Toxic” in a bluegrass style; sweet, folksy Sex Pistols songs; and traditionals like “The Cat Came Back.” Reecy's influences include Southern Culture on the Skids, Mae West, Amanda Palmer and Tom Waits.
​
Reecy, also known as the “Rocky Mountain Flirt,” will be touring with her third album “Mississippi Mountain Mud” in the winter of 2016/17. In true gypsy style this solo tour will span 12 states and three countries. Her first two albums are “The Fabulous Sideshow Apocalypse” (2009) and the “Rocky Mountain Flirt” EP (2015).
​
Reecy's music has been played on New Orleans' WWOZ, San Francisco's Radio Valencia, Colorado's KCMJ and Burning Man's BMIR radio. She's performed in over 30 burlesque shows, including Slow Burn Burlesque and Bella Blue's Dirty Dime Peep Show in New Orleans, Red Hots Burlesque in San Francisco and Johnny Porkpie's Burlesque in Times Square in New York City.
