about

"Immersive indie-pop...wonderfully evokes the sedated joy that comes with an abundance of sun" - The Line of Best Fit

“Dreamy, sweetly-layered vocals flutter with gossamer wings over guitar loops” - PROG Magazine (Tips for 2020)


“An artist whose ability to weave lush guitar lines into her vocally rich music is undeniable” - Guitar World

"Spartan dream-folk...drifts into unexplored areas, borrowing from jazz improvisation" - CLASH 

“Otherworldly, experimental songs that combine powerful lyricism with delicately beautiful instrumentation” - Nialler9

Bonnie Stewart (aka Bonniesongs) is originally from Wicklow, Ireland. She moved to Sydney in 2012 after visiting some Australians she met at a jazz improvised course in New York and falling in love with the city. “I had no friends or family from Australia” she explains “but I had an internal pull to move here”. 

 

Bonniesongs makes music that is both mellow and hazy and driven and edgy, traversing art-folk, psychedelia, dream-pop and grunge. She could be compared to art-rock and alternative artists such as PJ Harvey, Feist and Grouper.

 

Bonniesongs originally began her music career as an improvised jazz drummer and is active today in several bands in Sydney, including experimental trio Panghalina, bluegrass band The Morrisons, with singer-songwriter Sally Seltmann/New Buffalo, experimental improvised duo BoNo, and avant-garde folk duo Runa Cara (with Bonnie featuring on their forthcoming album to be released this year on Bentspace), as well as playing in Alyx Dennison's (of Kyu) solo project, with Dennison also being a long-term collaborator with Bonniesongs and one of the producers on the new album Strangest Feeling.
