A group led by singer/guitarist Blair Howerton, Why Bonnie introduced their dreamy, introspective version of indie rock with a pair of EPs in 2018. They made their Fat Possum debut with the EP Voice Box in 2020.
Why Bonnie was founded in Austin, Texas, in 2015 by Howerton, guitarist Sam Houdek, keyboardist Kendall Powell, bass player Chance Williams, and drummer Mitch Lamon. The band’s earliest releases, the cassette EPs In Water and Nightgown, both arrived on Sports Day Records in 2018. Following the death of Silver Jews ‘ David Berman in August 2019, they covered the group’s “Dallas” as a stand-alone charity track prior to signing with Fat Possum Records . Their debut for the label, the Voice Box EP, followed in April of 2020. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
