This week: Folksy singer-songwriter Haley Bonar is a gal about town

South Dakota born songbird and sometimes-wurlitzer-player Haley Bonar is in town performing this week, and if her name rings a bell, you already know what a treat this is. Bonar, who has a handsome handful of independently released records, plays rich, folksy and rockish songs, all laid down and layered with a charming country twang that pays homage to her acoustic hometown roots. A singer, guitarist and organist, she plays both solo, or with Minneapolis-based bandmates Jeremy Ylvisaker and Mike Lewis (who you might recognize from their work with Andrew Bird). New York snagged her for three solo sets this week, as part of her “Waiting for Lightning to Strike” tour with Daniel Martin Moore and Holcombe Waller. And one of those shows is tonight, tonight, tonight! at The Bell House in beautiful Gowanus.

Bonar’s newest album, Golder, came out in April, is perfect summer music: swingy, fun and a little bit sad, good for dinner parties, make-out parties, and catching up over beers in the neighborhood bar. Why not stop by one of the below shows to try out all three at once?
