SUMMARY:Ray Bonneville
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed raconteur and JUNO Award Winner Ray Bonneville strips his bluesy Americana to its essentials and steeps it in the humid grooves of the South\, creating a compelling poetry of hard living and deep feeling. His ninth release\, At King Electric\, delivers more than his trademark grit and groove. Rich guitar and harmonica lines resonate over spare but spunky rhythms\, while Bonneville’s deep\, evocative voice confesses life’s harsh realities. \nOften called a “song and groove man\,” Bonneville has lived the life of the itinerant artist. From his native Quebec\, he moved to Boston at age twelve\, where he learned English and picked up piano and guitar. Later\, he served in Vietnam and earned a pilot’s license in Colorado before living in Alaska\, Seattle\, and Paris. Six years in New Orleans infused his musical sensibilities with the region’s culture and rhythms. And then\, a close call while piloting a seaplane proved pivotal: \nAfter two decades working as a studio musician\, playing rowdy rooms with blues bands\, and living hard\, Bonneville’s lifetime of hard-won experience coalesced into an urge to write his own music. Whether performing solo or fronting a band\, playing electric or acoustic guitar\, Bonneville allows space between notes that adds potency to every chord\, lick\, and lyric. Often called a “song and groove man\,” he began writing his own music after two decades working as a studio musician\, playing rowdy rooms with blues bands\, and living hard. He’s since released nine albums\, won Canada’s Juno Award and other prestigious honors\, earned wide critical acclaim\, and garnered an enthusiastic following in the U.S.\, Canada\, and Europe. \nhttps://raybonneville.com/ \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions. \n
