Wednesday, February 18, 2009 AZNightBuzz.com Article on GBBCountry, Southern rock mix in Bonnett's musicBy Cathalena E. Burch This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Tucson, Arizona | Published: 01.22.2009 Google Tucson country music transplant Gary Bonnett's MySpace page, and you'll get one of those correction messages: Did you mean Gary Bennett? Ironically, Gary Bennett also is an alt-country crooner — based out of Nashville — and he also is playing a gig at a club with "moon" in its name, the Full Moon Saloon in Music City. (Our Gary Bonnett plays the Cactus Moon tonight.) Bennett has some hefty street cred as the co-lead singer and a founding member of 1990s country superband BR549. But he has nothing vocally on our Gary Bonnett. Bonnett has a twangy, rough-hewn baritone that belts out Southern red dirt odes to Texas as lovingly as he does to his native West Virginia. He borrows as much from country as he does from Southern rock, with refreshing honesty and pop sensibilities that invite comparisons to Cross Canadian Ragweed and Brad Paisley. "We are true to ourselves in the music we play and love every minute of it," Bonnett said by e-mail. "We write the stuff we play and live the stuff we write." Bonnett transferred to Tucson last April with the Arizona Air National Guard. The intelligence analyst has been playing music all of his life and is carving out a niche in Tucson, including his gig tonight at Cactus Moon with critically acclaimed Texan Aaron Watson. Bonnett will perform cuts off his two indie albums, "See Me Now" and "The Long Road Home." |
