Brooklyn-via-Texas singer-songwriter Blair Howerton has announced a new album from her project Why Bonnie. Wish on the Bone is due out on August 30 via Fire Talk, their first release for the label. Howerton co-prodduced the album with Jonathan Schenke, and she says, “We were trying on musical hats. There’s still some country on this record, but I wasn’t thinking about sticking to one thing. Personal experience of learning to be bolder and more assertive and trusting myself has carried over into my music.”
They’ve shared a new single, “Fake Out,” a soaring rocker, which Howerton says is about “trying to be authentic in a world that makes it impossible to be so.” Hear it below.
Why Bonnie also announced a couple of NYC shows happening this summer, at Union Pool on July 26 and August 29. The July show is with poolblood and the August show is with Sex Week. Tickets to both go on sale Friday, June 21 at 10 AM ET.
