Rockin' Bonnie Western Bound Combo

Rockin’Bonnie Western Bound Combo is composed by members of two different bands, The Starliters” e “Rockin’Bonnie & the Mighty Ropers”.
They have been around for years with their fine stage show mixin’ up a traditional steel guitar sound with a lot of rockin’ energy joining their love for hillybilly bop, western swing, honky tonk, country and a mighty rockabilly disposition.
They have worked hard at honing a slick, polished style as evidenced by their rich discography filled with obscure gems, as well as, never dull original numbers.
Looking good, in eye-catching western vintage suits, the rockin’ Hillbilly Stuff from Italy has a lot to say using the language of country music and ol’ rock ‘n’ roll.
Both projects joined some of the most important festivals around Europe and live shows in USA and Russia.

The band line up is: Rockin’Bonnie vocals e rhythm guitar, Max vocals and lead guitar, Serge steel guitar, Bobby double bass, Matt fiddle and Manuel drums.

They recorded for the spanish label, El Toro Records, their last sessions.
This year, a new single will be cut with the new line up.
