To close out our 2024 Hometown Sound Music Series, Hendersonville Theatre presents a special concert, BonFide featuring Paula Harris. Just like the definition of the band’s name, BonaFide is “authentic, sincere or without artifice.” The band dishes out music that is “genuine & real” from organic instruments and no special effects. It is the result of a collaboration by vocalist Paula Harris and bassist Mike Frost, both musicians with jazz backgrounds and a love and appreciation of soul, funk, and blues. These two powerhouses have come together to create world-class original music and imaginative covers.

The six-member group sprang from the first time Harris and Frost worked together. The chemistry was so blatant, that they immediately began working on arrangements. Featuring technical precision, BonaFide offers a blend of multiple genres. Approachable with broad appeal, the group is influenced by many American music genres including groups like Stuff, Anita Baker, and Post Modern Jukebox. BonaFide is, simply put, great music from musicians at the top of their game, sophisticated, fresh, and fun!
