Eddie Owen Presents The Bonaventure Quartet

Live at Red Clay Theatre in downtown Duluth
What do you get when you combine the gypsy-jazz stylings of Django Reinhardt and the torchy-twangy mezzo delivery of Patsy Cline with a rowdy troupe of Romani-esque instrumentalists? The only correct answer would be the Bonaventure Quartet! This longtime Atlanta outfit handily transplants you to another time and place while putting their own stamp on it all. The ensemble’s latest album, Lost and Found at the Clermont Lounge, may take its title from the Ponce dive-turned-tourist-attraction, but the disc’s 15 songs traverse decades, regions, whole continents. The BVQ’s first album, ‘The Secret Seduction of the Grand Pompadour’ made the Creative Loafing’s list of the Top 101 Albums of the Decade: Atlanta’s Greatest Hits, 2000-2009, and garnered praise from national press. With Amy Pike, (formerly of the Lost Continentals), Charles Williams and Dan Coy on guitars, Joel Morris on drums, Mark Bynum on bass, Don Erdman on saxes and clarinets, Gabe Granitz on accordion and Ken Gregory on brass. Come enjoy the BVQ’s unique acoustic sound, a virtual melting pot of European influences, camp, and swing noire.
