Deni Bonet

It’s no secret that Deni Bonet can rock a violin like nobody’s business—or that she writes memorable songs you’ll want to hear again and again. A classically trained violinist who left the classical world because she hated wearing black and sitting still, Deni has built a career as a violinist, singer, songwriter, and performer whose style spans pop, roots-rock, and new folk. She has performed and recorded with Cyndi Lauper, R.E.M., Sarah McLachlan, and many others, and appeared at Carnegie Hall, NPR’s Mountain Stage, the Great Wall of China, the United Nations, and the White House for President Obama. For the past several years, Deni has toured across the US and Europe headlining festivals, performing arts centers, clubs, colleges, and concert halls, as well as soloing with symphonies. Her music has been featured on HBO, NBC, American Airlines, and in several films. She was awarded a grant through the U.S. Arts Envoy Program for a residency in Zanzibar, where she taught violin, songwriting, and rock ’n roll. Deni has released several acclaimed albums, including Bright Shiny Objects on Zip Records/Sony-RED. She is currently performing as part of the Americana duo Deni Bonet & Chris Flynn, blending voices, electric violin, and guitar in harmony. Together, they bring modern energy to folk-pop, roots-rock, and Americana, captivating audiences with their joyful sound and dynamic chemistry.
