SARAH BELKNER & FRIENDS: BONNIESONGS

  BONNIESONGS  

To open the residency with a bang. Sarah is teaming up with the incredible BONNIESONGS.  Sarah first met Bonnie when she was a young whippersnapper playing the drums at various jazz jams & has been thrilled to see her evolve into the incredible indie multi instrumental artist whose most recent single 'Strangest Feeling' is a must listen, just a great slightly out of the box banger about feeling deeply for someone.

BONNIESONGS, aka Irish-born, Australian-based multi-instrumentalist & songwriter Bonnie Stewart, releases her sophomore album ‘Strangest Feeling’ out on 25 July via Impressed Recordings.  With heavy thrums of detuned guitars entwined with layers of angelic airy vocals, 'Strangest Feeling' shows Bonniesongs’ masterful ability to balance sound & silence, reminding us that music, at its core, is simple vibration moving through air. Bonniesongs makes music that is both mellow & hazy, & driven & edgy, traversing art-folk, psychedelia, dream-pop & grunge. While Bonniesongs’ style sits more in a ‘ethereal grunge’ category of its own, one she’s been carving out since her 2019’s debut album, she could also be compared to art-rock & alternative artists such as PJ Harvey, Feist & Grouper for her music’s raw, hypnotic qualities.

Energetic Mind (Small Pond/ Art As Catharsis). Once described by artist Fink, who championed Bonniesongs heavily on his KCRW radio show & toured Australia with her early this year as having “a deceptively hard edged soft-core.”

Bonnie was recently announced as a semi finalist in the International Songwriting Competition with her latest track 'Strangest Feeling' in two categories & her music video was awarded the Wild One on Rage. Bonnie’s single “Olive Oil” is a semi finalist in the Unsigned Music Only Music Awards.

Bonniesongs has supported for international renowned artists such as Fink, The Beths, Joan As Police Women, Gordi & Sorcha Richardson.
