Pomplamoose in Boston

Pomplamoose is an American indie-pop duo formed in 2008 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Nataly Dawn and keyboardist Jack Conte. They became known through their self-produced “VideoSongs,” which showed every recorded sound being performed on camera, and through inventive covers including Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” Their releases include the albums Pomplamoose and Tribute to Famous People. In 2014, Pomplamoose undertook a US tour and expanded the studio duo into a touring ensemble. After the run, the group published a detailed breakdown of its income and expenses, prompting a broader discussion of the economics facing independent touring musicians led by Jack Conte.
