From radio silence on a camping trip to performing on stages across New York City! BONNY is a fresh retro duo reviving the spirit of rock bands with grit, groove, and heart.

With co-lead vocalists bringing that timeless dynamic back to the forefront, BONNY blends folky warmth with punchy rock flare that feels nostalgic, vintage, and homely. As a three-piece, they talk about how, though a smaller group, it keeps everything raw, by distributing not only energy but responsibility equally and sonically.

Inspired by legends like Patti Smith, Rush, and Fleetwood Mac, they embrace old-school studio recording techniques and then mix it in a way that feels fresh and modern. There’s an unspoken communication between them built on deep trust, spontaneity, and the freedom to jam together vulnerably, which I really admire.

We also dive into:

What it means to build a “patchwork” career as multi-hyphenate artists

How they handle time management and disagreements as a band that also lives together

Their favorite venues and how to secure gigs

Their songwriting process, including their debut single, “What Are You Doing?”

Their plans for the future as a team.
