 BONNIE LOCKHART is a Northern California singer/songwriter who combines a love of diverse folk traditions with a gift for lyrics both witty and compassionate, and an active commitment to participatory, community-building music. She is a performer, composer, educator, and activist who believes in the transformative power of music in the lives of both individuals and communities. Bonnie’s first recording, made nearly thirty years ago with the anti-war folk rock quartet, The Red Star Singers, is still available through Smithsonian Folkways. She continues to compose, perform and record, and has appeared at venues from the Vancouver Folk Festival in British Columbia to an international jazz festival in Managua, Nicaragua. Her songs have appeared in Sing Out!, Rise up Singing, Here’s to the Women, and Holt Rinehart music texts. Among the artists who have recorded her music are Charlie King, Gary Lapow, Sarah Pirtle, Robin Flower, Betsy Rose and Adam Miller. Bonnie gives concerts for children and families at schools, libraries, festivals and community centers throughout the West Coast. She is long-time board member and former president of The Children’s Music Network. Bonnie’s recordings are affirmations of her commitment to young children, to the folk traditions that enliven her music, and to the power of communal music making. Her most recent CD, Dreams, Drums & Green Thumbs, has been praised by School Library Journal for “. . Lockhart’s beautiful composition, poetic imagery, and delightful sense of humor.” |
