Ramona and the Holy Smokes is a Honky Tonk band from Charlottesville Virginia, whose original music recalls classic country from the 1950s and 60s. The Holy Smokes are fronted by Ramona Martinez, a prolific singer-songwriter whose sincere and heartfelt music has been described as "incredibly relatable" and "earnest." She also pulls from her Mexican-American roots to perform and compose traditional Mariachi music in a Country Western style, and was recently named one of the "15 Latino Artists Shaping Country Music" by Wide Open Country.
