Ray Bonneville June 14, 2009

A one-man band of roots and country blues, with arch top electric guitar, harmonica, footboard percussion & vocals

Ray Bonneville calls his music "a gumbo of American roots stylings." His own style involves generating a tremendous amount of sound: laying down a surprisingly complex guitar groove, rock-solid footboard percussion, intricate but understated harmonica licks, and weathered vocals that are always cool but never aloof. He often streamlines his touring act, accompanying himself on guitar, rack harmonica and footboard. This same spare quality applies to the evocative songwriting that won Bonneville a 1999 Juno Award-the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy-for his third album, "Gust of Wind"
