	Bill Bonk A brand new album featuring 10 new songs. Produced by The Brothers Figaro, Eveningshade marks a shift to a more groove-oriented songwriting approach. Backed on most tracks by drummer Stevo Theard (Terrence Trent d'Arby), the album also features guest appearances by Grant-Lee Phillips and Joey Peters (Grant Lee Buffalo), and Michael Lockwood (Fiona Apple/Aimee Mann), plus lots of help from longtime musical partner Phil Parlapiano.	soundclips order online: cd baby
	The Brothers Figaro "The Brothers Figaro prove themselves to be first-class, acoustically oriented songsmiths... Their lyrics are about streetwise love affairs ("Three Years Gone"), the disillusionment of love ("Paradise to Pontchartrain" and "Big World") and good marriages gone bad ("My Gold Ring"). Probably the strongest of the bunch is "1959", a musical illustration of the adage that "life is what happens to you while you're waiting for your dreams to come true." Edie Brickell, Nils Lofgren and David Lindley make guest appearances, but in the end it's Bonk and Parlapiano's first-rate songwriting that's the star of Gypsy Beat."	more reviews soundclips order online: cdbaby.com
	Bill Bonk "Honest, simple, and to the point, Bill Bonk's low-key pop songs are heartfelt and ultra-compelling. His clear, strong voice, keen sense of melody, and wonderful lyrics place him in the ballpark of something like an American version of Crowded House... All I can say is, it's about time! More, more, more!"	more reviews soundclips order online: cdbaby.com
