Ramona and the Holy Smokes

Ramona and the Holy Smokes is a Honky Tonk band from Charlottesville Virginia, whose original country music recalls classic country from the 1950s and 60s.

The Holy Smokes are fronted by Ramona Martinez, a prolific singer-songwriter who pulls inspiration from her own life to write songs about heartbreak and hangovers.

The current line-up of the Holy Smokes includes: Kyle Lawton Kilduff (Electric guitar), Brooks Hefner (Pedal Steel), Jay Ouypron (Bass), and Porter Bralley (Drums.)

Ramona & the Holy Smokes have been performing around Charlottesville since late April of 2022 -- including at Fridays After Five, Champion Brewing Company, The Southern, The Garage, and Dürty Nelly's. They will be recording an EP this winter and touring more extensively in the Spring of 2023.
