SXSW 2008: A.A. Bondy
March 13, 2008 A.A. Bondy plays songs live at SXSW from his debut, American Hearts. The former Verbena frontman leaves behind the rock crunch of his former band for bluesy folk songs about damnation and salvation. It ends up somewhere between Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams, wrapped in flannel shirts and muddied boots.
