Why Bonnie is an Austin based band led by singer/guitarist Blair Howerton. They play indie rock with a tip of the hat towards the more folk-oriented, gentle country rock of artists like Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow. Howerton's understated vocals and the band's overall laid back sound and mellow tones give their music a nice and easy flow. The songs often come with plenty of quality hooks to keep the engine rolling forward. Their earlier recordings, i.e., the initial EPs, were more on the jangly side with uptempo pop and some dream pop vibes perhaps along the lines of The Cranberries.
