Experience The Best of Margaret River
[adrotate group=”2″]
Yet another exciting musical event is coming to Margaret River with the presence of Bonjah! at Settlers Tavern on 25th February. The band hails from New Zealand and arrived in Australia four years ago. Since then they have garnered much appreciation for their unique brand of music and unbridled talent.
Coming from different countries, the band members have struck up steadfast friendships; South African born Glen Mossop is the vocalist and plays the acoustic guitar. Other members include three New Zealanders Regan Lethbridge, David Morgan and Dan Chisholm. The band is rounded off by Australian James Majernik on percussion. Their diverse nationalities and cultural backgrounds, coupled with a strong work ethic have helped Bonjah! sell more than 20,000 CDs working independently. Success hasn’t come easily though and the lads have put in years of tireless touring. Of course, their brilliant song writing capabilities have helped in a big way.
Bonjah’s debut album was released in March 2009 and garnered considerable critical acclaim. It went on to be honoured with a nomination for the Best Australian Independent Blues and Roots Album. The band also won accolades through nominations from Rolling Stone magazine and others.
The band has infused new spirit into the blues and roots genres with their classic melodies, deep lyrics and the ability to mesmerise the audience. Their on-stage chemistry is phenomenal. The atmosphere created by Glenn Mossop’s rich vocals is nothing short of amazing and Bonjah! at Settlers Tavern is definitely worth a go.
