Bonnie Kay & The Bonafides - Live in Sydney CBD 2020

Here is a unique sort of soulful and sassy package of blues and roots: Open it! 

Bonnie Kay, a contemporary American singer/songwriter from Philadelphia who landed in Australia via Tokyo. Bonnie uses acoustic, finger-picking, slide-guitar techniques, plus a voice reminiscent of blues icon Bonnie Raitt's, to deliver her own red-hot, sexy sound. Bonnie's voice and guitar speak evocatively to the archetypal medley of emotions springing from the trauma of love relationships between humans: yearning, angst, lust & passion.

Meet the Bonafides are:-

• Wayne Rigby on saxophone and flute, 

• Catherine Golden on double bass, 

• Calvin Welsh on drums, 

• Kaiki Suzuki on trombone 

• Nic Lewis on electric guitar

Bonnie Kay & The Bonafides present elements of jazz, soul and funk with indescribable elements of texture and color, sometimes smooth and jazzy, sometimes gritty and raw. Their influences are Blues, Jazz, Soul, Rockabilly & Alternate Country are putting on a live show at Civic Underground in Sydney CBD on Friday November 13.
