The Bonnie Blues are a kind of Boswell Sisters and The Boswell Sisters are a kind of Andrew Sisters. There are a few big differences; The Bonnie Blues are alive and kicking and play their instruments themselves. Their mission is the same, however: a lighthearted evening full of humor and relaxation.
Van Leo Martin to Queen, from De Nieuwe Snaar to The Ramblers: they all form inspiration for Nele Paelinck, Juno Kerstens and Laura Vanden Heede.
With this first full-fledged performance In Eigen Nat, they open their view on contemporary society, covered with a musical sauce from the 10s to the 80s.
Three-part and supported by many an instrument, they bring the period of then to the time of now with a wink. Silliness has not been taken so seriously in years.
“They put the Bonnie in the blues” – Glenn Miller
