Atlanta Band Rockin Pontoons are tearing up the local music circuit, grabbing new fans with every show they perform. Their CD is selling like hash-browns at The Waffle House, and has garnered much critical acclaim:

"Beautiful American Dust seems an appropriate name for an album that incorporates so many styles of American music. The organ, pedal steel and great beats will draw you in and the smart lyrics delivered in Coffey's deadpan voice will keep you coming back for more."(Mare Wakefield – Performing Songwriter)

"Beautiful American Dust is a marvelous achievement. "Miracles" displays the poetic charm and writing dexterity of this supremely ambitious group. Packed with sixteen quality songs of dazzling compositional technique and hook-laden chemistry. This is a simply attractive and engaging work, ready to savor and enjoy fully!"(Shawn M. Haney – Southeast Performer)

Hailing from Atlanta are the Rockin Pontoons, whose Beautiful American Dust is as sweet a platter of boozy, woozy music as you'll chow down on all month."(Fred Mills – Stomp and Stammer)

"Piloted by Steve Coffey's wistful vocals, the Pontoons float over sublime duets that highlight the band's terrific debut album Beautiful American Dust. The live show adds grit to the songs, which shift from soulful to sensitive to sassy in a heartbeat."(Hal Horowitz – Creative Loafing)

Rockin' Pontoons-man Front Steve Coffey: Not your average song-writer

Steve Coffey, founder and lead singer of the band, didn't follow the normal path to sucess... Well, not musical success, anyway. A Notre Dame and Rutgers Law graduate, Coffey began writing songs in college. When he moved to Atlanta, he continued to hone his craft, and eventually formed Rockin' Pontoons.
