Eclectic trio that is Uncle Bonsai stealing the stage with humor and wit March 12 at the Auburn Avenue TheaterContact: Uncle Bonsai WHAT: Uncle Bonsai AUBURN, Wash. – February 15, 2011 – Riding the wave from the release of their new CD, The Grim Parade, Uncle Bonsai will be performing their witty folk-pop songs Saturday, March 12 at 7:30 PM at the Auburn Avenue Theater. Uncle Bonsai has been performing nationally for nearly 30 years with eight albums to their credit. Their music ranges from irreverent to ironic, from satirical to sad. And despite the folk tag, their music defies categorization, according to the Associated Press. Uncle Bonsai was formed in 1981 after three recent graduates of Bennington College in Vermont migrated to Seattle and found each other in the want ads. Though strangers on the college campus of 600, the three quickly congealed as single entity after answering the ad one of them placed for a folk group...to sing sea shanties. Instead, Andrew, the group's primary songwriter, arranged a few covers and wrote new tunes for three-part vocal gymnastics. The voices merged to create a sound that soon became Uncle Bonsai's trademark: high soaring and intricate vocal harmonies wrapped around biting humor and poignant unflinching portrayals of life, love and a guy named Doug. The City of Auburn BRAVO Performing Arts Series includes music, dance, and theater performances for all ages throughout the year.
