Deni Bonet is a classically-trained musician, but had too much energy - and too many great original tunes - to be confined in an orchestra, as anyone who's seen one of her passionate, powerful live performances will attest. So she traded her black recital dress for a pair of go-go boots and an electric blue violin, and after performing or recording with some of the classic names in rock and pop - R.E.M., Sarah McLachlan, Daniel Lanois and Warren Zevon, to name just a few - Bonet is now stepping into the solo spotlight.
With a singular sound The Wall Street Journal calls "Sheryl Crow meets The B-52s, Bonet has found a way to fit her string skills into ultra-hummable roots-based pop. It's "catchy as any Top 40 radio song," the Journal noted, "but with occasional hints of adult depth."
With her band, she has become a favorite at festivals, summer concert series, PAC's, house concerts, clubs, colleges and coffeehouses, throughout the country and abroad, with a reputation for fun and exciting shows.
Deni was an original cast member of National Public Radio's premier music show, Mountain Stage, hosted her own cable TV show, Duets With Deni, and was part of Lilith Fair. She's remained a first-call session player and sidewoman, touring the world with Cyndi Lauper and making TV appearances on, Saturday Night Live, The Today Show and Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
She is a committed supporter and volunteer for LIFEbeat's Hearts and Voices program, which brings the gift of live music to thousands of people living with AIDS, in hospitals, hospices, residential facilities and treatment centers throughout New York City.
