A.A. Bondy to join Cold War Kids and The Felice Brothers Tours This Fall
A.A. Bondy will showcase songs from his critically acclaimed debut “American Hearts” (Fat Possum) as well as a trove of new ballads across the country this fall. Don’t miss out when he joins friends The Felice Brothers and Cold War Kids on the road after a well-received performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and highly successful tours with The Weakerthans and Bon Iver.
“A.A. Bondy’s solo debut, “American Hearts”, is full of darkly sardonic songs. The former Verbena frontman leaves behind the rock crunch of his former band for bluesy folk songs about damnation and salvation. It ends up somewhere between Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams, wrapped in flannel shirts and muddied boots.” – NPR
“Bondy’s debut bears a timeless patina. Built on country-tinged couplets and the occasional harmonica trill, Hearts sounds like a cowboy’s campfire lament –a cowboy with a rucksack full of Dylan bootlegs. Bondy is a practiced chronicler of the down-but-not-quite-out…he delivers it all with quiet, heartfelt conviction.” - Entertainment Weekly
