Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. This band's songs are joyous, fierce, honest and heartbreaking as they chronicle life and all it entails through the sounds of the minor keys.
Bon Bon Vivant is made up of songwriter /front-woman Abigail Cosio, Saxophonist/ vocalist Jeremy Kelley, on Sousaphone and Bass is Jason Jurzak, drums and percussion by Deacon Marrquin. The bands unique instrumentation is also a thing to watch and leaves listeners reaching to identify what kind of music they are hearing. With brass horns and a rotating cast of New Orleans musicians coming through, this sound is alive and something to experience.
Locally, BBV is one of the highlighted acts in the New Orleans music scene, Awarded Best Emerging Artist of 2018 by Off Beat Magazine. BBV plays regularly in New Orleans with upcoming appearances at French Quarter Fest, Jazz Fest, Bayou Boogaloo and tours regularly spreading the gospel of decadence, reverence and revelry with their infectious live shows. A second full length studio album is coming out soon with a supporting tour. See them play all over the country in theaters, clubs, festivals, and even the occasional pop-up street busk. This band has a truly timeless and unique sound.
Bon Bon Vivant is currently on tour in the Pacific North West for the summer, in support of their new single Last Nights Glitter. Catch them live at Blairally, Saturday August 3rd. 8pm on the outdoor stage.
Drive To Space is a keyboard-driven band that combines prog rock, funk, reggae, Americana, bluegrass, and more. These genre-diverse instrumentalists fuse their experiences into a cohesive, mind-meld of sound - complete with tempo and key changes, odd meters, tight jams, and, well-written, complex material interspersed with improvisation, and three-part vocal harmonies.
Drive to Space is led by Steph Kay, who has spent time performing nationwide with St. Louis based Widespread Panic tribute Mom's Kitchen, Summer Camp Music Festival's VIP Tent alums, Easy Riders, a plethora of Grateful Dead tribute bands, the Chicago-based jamrock group, Spread, as well as Eugene's own Left On Wilson and Blue Lotus. Steph reaches with every finger and toe to manipulate your earholes and get you moving. Steph is backed by John Raden (Candy Apple Bleu, Hyper Sloth) on drums, and Terry Travis (Hyper Sloth) on bass guitar.
Travis Mason, from RippleVision, will be joining in the fun on guitar!
Drive to Space hopes that you can come join them on a epic hike through an aural landscape!
