Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. This band's songs are joyous, fierce, honest and heartbreaking as they chronicle life and all it entails through the sounds of the minor keys.
Bon Bon Vivant has been playing music together since 2013, formed in the French Quarter of New Orleans. BBV is lead by married musicians: songwriter /front-woman Abigail Cosio and Saxophonist/ vocalist Jeremy Kelley. The couple met in 2004, and began playing music together in and around the Los Angeles local music scene, performing at venues like the Hotel Cafe and The Silverlake Lounge. In 2009 they moved to New Orleans, eventually forming Bon Bon Vivant from the community of musicians they met living in New Orleans. Abigails songwriting has reflected their life together in its many interations, a form of personal storytelling through this 20 year union. The bands unique instrumentation is also a thing to watch and leaves listeners reaching to identify what kind of music they are hearing. With brass horns and a rotating cast of incredible musicians coming through, this sound is alive and something to experience.
