Bonny Light Horseman
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Bonny Light Horseman joins the Jagjaguwar family ready to embrace life’s wonderful, abundant chaos. Confident and generous, their lead single, “When I Was Younger,” kicks off the band’s most vulnerable and bounteous era to date.
Over the years, Bonny Light Horseman has accumulated many miles on the collective odometer of life. The band’s core trio — Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson, and Josh Kaufman — has amassed an incomparable collected resume. Mitchell is a celebrated solo artist as well as the playwright and songwriter behind the hit Broadway musical Hadestown, which notched eight Tony Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. Johnson is best known as the mind behind beloved indie mainstays Fruit Bats, as a longtime collaborator with The Shins, and as a film score composer. And Kaufman is a multi-hyphenate extraordinaire: songwriter, producer, and position player, having recorded and performed with artists ranging from Bob Weir to The War on Drugs to Taylor Swift, Hiss Golden Messenger and The Hold Steady. As a group, Bonny Light Horseman’s debut album received a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, and the track "Deep in Love" was nominated for Best American Roots Performance.
