Bonnie Ramone grew up on a 103 acre cattle farm on the border of the West Virginian panhandle in a town with 3 stop signs, a 2 lane bowling alley, and 2 working clowns. Despite this fact, she can mostly be found dancing like a member of the Peanuts to Depeche Mode or tipping a local drag performer on any given Saturday. She reconciles this dichotomy in her music, and doesn’t seem to find any difference in them: infectious hooks, guitar with too much reverb and a little tremolo, catchy bass lines, and introspective lyrics that tell a sad story… is it Hank or the Cure? Does it matter?

Bonnie & the Mere Mortals is a project that equally sounds like something you’ve never heard before and something you’ve been hearing your whole life. A genre bend that draws you in, but is as easy on the eyes as it is on the ears. A project that’s pretty sure Hank done it this way, but Robert Smith was on the money as well, and that’s no problem. A live show that is just as at home with an introspective elegy as a barn burner. An aesthetic that is just as much classic Nashville as it is glam. Blending the earnest songtelling and excitement of a 70s Era Grand Ole Opry performance with the technology and theatricality of a synthwave show, the Mere Mortals find themselves halfway between Dolly Parton and Elvira, and at home anyplace.

After releasing a first EP and a full-length album bookending the COVID-19 shutdown, the Mere Mortals missed nothing more than performing live, and Bonnie began to lay the groundwork for Live & Unplugged at the Club Cafe. Recorded and filmed live in front of a studio audience on January 14, 2023, L&U seeks to distill the essence of the intimacy of performing we all missed so dearly. Though not in her full Bowie-meets-drag regalia for the relaxed atmosphere, the evening still has its elements of glam. The Mere Mortals then set about to touring the Appalachian region and the Denver area, trailblazing a dozen new markets and setting benchmarks like being invited to several Nashville listening rooms, the Red Rocks Amphitheater, and being the exclusive musical guest at events like Aurora Pride. Bonnie & the Mere Mortals show no signs of slowing down, and are hard at work on their next release.
