[video] A.A. Bondy performs on Hear Ya

A.A. Bondy - "Slow Parade" - HearYa Live Session 11/21/09 from HearYa.com on Vimeo.

It wasn’t long ago that I shared a pair of intimate solo acoustic video performances from long time PHW fave A.A. Bondy that were recorded by Hard To Find A Friend and The Tripwire. On the strength of videos such as these, as well as his excellent sophomore album, When The Devil’s Loose, and endless touring, Bondy has been making quite the name for himself since the album’s release last summer. Well, Hear Ya (who recently did the same for The Roadside Graves) has tapped the songwriter yet again, but this time Bondy has been recorded with his backing band. Though a one of a kind performer when armed with just a harmonica and acoustic guitar, the band arrangements offer a welcome perspective to Bondy’s haunting, meditative folk songs (as evidenced by the surprising electric guitar eruption that acts as a coda to “Slow Parade”). Listen up, and head over to Hear Ya to download mp3s of the session.
