PLEASE RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/557237723522406 Text: 530-632-3798 Canadian born, and now living in Austin, Ray has shared the bill with blues heavyweights Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Dr. John, J.J. Cale, and Robert Cray. Accompanying Bonneville will be Oklahoma pianist Richie Lawrence. Bonneville has been called “a poet of the demimonde” with a style that sometimes draws comparisons to JJ Cale and Daniel Lanois. His music is blues-influenced, New Orleans-inspired, and has earned him the apt description of “song and groove man.” His original songs are gritty narratives inspired by a lifetime of hard-won knowledge set against his steely, soulful guitar and harmonica playing, accented by stirring foot percussion. Bonneville is a winner and three-time nominee of Canada’s coveted Juno award, and in 2012 won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge Award. In addition to his own work, Bonneville has performed on albums by Mary Gauthier, Gurf Morlix, Eliza Gilkyson, Ray Wylie Hubbard and other well-known Americana/Roots artists. He shares songwriting credits with Tim O’Brien, Phil Roy and Morlix, among others. Oklahoman Richie Lawrence was described by Maverick Magazine, “A talent like no other on the piano,” and Rootsville Music Review said, “music of a rare beauty and simplicity revolves around the impressive piano playing of Richie...” Lawrence will add his piano and accordion interpretations to Bonneville’s song and groove, making for a unique and exquisite Americana performance.
