Bonny Light Horseman

Bonny Light Horseman is the fusion of three unique talents: Anaïs Mitchell, an American singer-songwriter and the Tony Award-winning creator of the Broadway musical "Hadestown"; Eric D. Johnson, known for his work as the frontman of the indie outfit Fruit Bats; and Josh Kaufman, a seasoned producer and multi-instrumentalist who has collaborated with artists like The National and Hiss Golden Messenger. Their self-titled debut, "Bonny Light Horseman," released in January 2020, marked the start of a collaborative project that intertwines the essence of traditional folk songs with a modern twist, weaving a rich tapestry of indie-folk music that speaks to both the past and present.

Building upon their critically acclaimed debut, 'Bonny Light Horseman,' the trio has continued to enchant the indie-music scene with their evocative sound and poetic storytelling. Their subsequent releases showcase their talent for reinvention as they turned time-honored melodies into contemporary anthems. Tracks such as "Once on Another Day" and "Rolling Golden Holy" see them expanding their horizons while maintaining the intimate, timeless quality that first put them on the radar of folk aficionados. With each new release, including "Clementine," "Buzzin' Fly," and "Green/Green," Bonny Light Horseman reasserts their position as modern custodians of folk's storied legacy, creating music that resonates with a sense of familiarity and fresh ingenuity.
