Introducing Bonne Finken...
"...I cling to this connection...I think we all need connected..."
lyrics from "My City of Industry" from the SOUL ON DISPLAY album
"...more artists should be so bold.."
-Tracey Kelley, Intrepid Media
"...She has a voice and delivery with the buttery depth of Annie Lennox, the effortless blues edge of Bonnie Raitt, and the complete lack of fear that marks Aretha Franklin’s singing."
-Kent Williams, Little Village - Iowa City's News & Culture Magazine
"Bonne is preparing to impact our music scene in a big way..."
-Daniel Bosman, Capital 106.3
"...she truly is the gem of the Des Moines music scene..."
-Cityview Reader 2008

'Soul on Display' successfully mixes Bonne's soulful lyrics with her blistering rock vocals sung over deep melodic grooves to create an album experience that is both one of a kind and unforgettable.
J. Sharpe Smith of The Des Moines Register writes "(Soul on Display) explodes with her thoughts and feelings, and a palpable energy runs through the album, from urban funk to anthem rock. Infusing emotion into the music styles, Finken's voice thunders, whispers, pleads and screams"
Along with her unique and sultry voice and heartfelt vocal stylings, Bonne Finken nearly explodes off the stage giving an emotional and energetic performance that will make her hard to forget long after you've left one of her shows.
"Strong vocals and insightful lyrics stem from a vibrant spirit evident in Finken’s live shows and on her new release" - Tracey Kelley, Intrepid Media
Prior to her work on 'Soul on Display', Bonne honed her vocal skills as female vocalist in four separate bands; one hip-hop, one rock, one funk and one r&b pop.
Having touched so many genres, Bonne Finken and her band, the Collective, now are prepared to unveil a new genre all their own.
"If you visit Ms. Finken’s website www.bonnefinken.com, you can read her inspiring back story, but I won’t repeat it here, because while it might inform her music, the music itself doesn’t need any propping up by the singer’s biography. The songs, and the voice behind them, can stand by themselves." - Kent Williams, Little Village Iowa City's News & Culture Magazine
