…is one of the area’s most exciting new acoustic ensembles, blending diversity, creativity, and musicality into a unique, ear-catching style. The acoustic guitar of 17-year-old George Bonner provides a richly contoured foundation for the group’s sound, while his brother Andy’s violin drives the lyric lines and atmospheric effects. The duo balances ensemble and artistry with straight-up fun—music for both your head and your heels.

The keyword to Who Was Thursday’s performance is diversity. In addition to their own original compositions, the group’s source material includes:

          • Traditional Irish jigs

          • Argentinean tangos

          • Acoustic jazz

          • Ancient English ballads

          • Arrangements of Beatles tunes, as well as contemporary artists such as

             Sixpence None the Richer, Jars of Clay, and Five Iron Frenzy

          • Scandinavian traditional and new tunes

          • 1940s swing ballads

Each tune, though, is marked by Who Was Thursday’s own arrangement and unique treatment.

The name of the band comes from one of their favorite books, G.K. Chesterton’s novel

The Man Who Was Thursday.
