"Despite a startlingly brief apprenticeship, Bonar exhibits a remarkable musical gift." excerpt from St. Petersburg Times article by Louis Hau
"He sings with all of his soul, and his guitar work is some of the best we've seen." excerpt from Tre Amici Music, April 19th Show Recap
"A singer/songwriter and astounding acoustic guitar picker, Bonar has recorded a superb debut album of country-blues originals that speak to matters of the heart and the anxiety of coping with modernity, phrased in contemporary language that still suits the genre."
