Bonniesongs is the project of Sydney, Australia-based art-folk musician Bonnie Stewart, who will release her debut album Energetic Mind on September 6th via Small Pond Records.

All I wanted to do was be at the beach having refreshingly cold things (like ice cream…) but I was too hot to do anything about it. “Sometimes, no matter how sleepy or useless to the world you are, when you get a fun riff happening a new burst of energy can push past the sweat and laziness and you can manage to rock out. It’s about fun, summer, friends, ice cream, being silly and not taking yourself too seriously. Also my favourite flavour is actually mint choc NOT vanilla, but it didn’t work as well…”
