High-Heeled Accordion Blues Cabaret

About Me

"Exotic prairie gospel..." -the late Great Ray Condo ..................... "Nodding to old blues, gospel, and Tin Pan Alley tunesmithing, Vancouver's Ana Bon-Bon and her full-bodied voice and accordion playing bring a vintage bawdy-house bon-temps vibe to life." -R.Bottenberg, Montreal Mirror

MEET THE FABULOUS MS. BON-BON!

Ana Bon-Bon is old-time blues meets sexy cabaret: an earthy, exciting rhythm & spiritual blues musician with a mighty voice and commanding stage presence that draw frequent comparisons with Nina Simone and Mahalia Jackson.LATEST CD "BARE NAKED BLUES" AVAILABLE AT:BONE RATTLE MUSIC- Commercial Drive/4th Vancouver and RED CAT RECORDS- Main Street/27th Vancouver BC CanadaAna Bon-Bon is the proud recipient of a Canada Council grant for Independent Musicians- to write music in Paris, France!

Miss Bon-Bon is a natural icebreaker and is comfortable in any venue from a concert hall to a raucous pub! Ana has played countless live music venues, cabarets, fundraisers, and events as one of Vancouvers most sought-after performers.

Ana Bon-Bon performs solo and with virtuoso fiddler Amelia Rose as part of duo Bon-Bon and Rose. Another project close to her heart is as front woman for rock band Hard Candy. Ana also spent a year performing with the creatively uninhibited Empire Burlesque Troupe, once referred to as punk-rock burlesque.

Selected performances include Artswells, Sourdough Rendezvous, Montreal POP Festival, Stan Rogers Festival, Dawson City Music Fest, Vancouer Film Festival, PUSH Festival, Tease-O-Rama Burlesque Conventions, LA, San Francisco and has also toured throughout Europe, the US and Canada.
