About the Artist

Acclaimed raconteur 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. 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.
