Jeff Hatch began writing music in his early twenty's. He played drums in the local Seattle band Green Ice in the mid-80 s, but left soon after the band was formed and began writing and recording on his own.

In 1989 Jeff married and put down his guitar for a more practical life, spending the following years as a bus driver, massage therapist, computer analyst, weekend warrior, stay at home dad and a salesman.

Seventeen years and 8 kids later he has picked up his guitar and pen and paper once more and has formed the band Ponyno. His debut CD Rosa Mystica , released in 2007, is a combination of country, rock, and folk songs mostly based on personal experience and observations.

Jeff continues playing, writing, singing, and being a husband and father to this day.
