Explains Bonnet of the new album, “Similar to the first two albums, it will reflect different eras of my career, but with a contemporary twist. I’m also delighted to be playing with original members of the Graham Bonnet Band, Beth-Ami Heavenstone who has been my constant partner (on and off stage) since meeting back in 2012 and guitarist Conrado Pesinato, who’s innate musical style elicits some of my best songwriting.” Conrado and Beth-Ami also serve as the album’s producers.

Graham Bonnet is a hard rock legend with a pedigree to back that statement up. His stints with Rainbow, MSG, Alcatrazz, and Impellitteri prove he is one of the finest rock vocalists of his generation. In his late 60s into his 70s, Graham has made three of the best albums he’s ever done, a reunion album with Alcatrazz called Born Innocent (2020), along with two regal, rocking and yet irresistibly sophisticated records with his cherished Graham Bonnet Band, The Book (2016) and Meanwhile, Back In The Garage (2018). Both these albums represent more accurately the vision Graham had for a reunited Alcatrazz, so to speak, with less emphasis on guitar pyrotechnics and more on quality song construction, all topped with lyrics that force us to consider the world around us, both the good and the bad, with Graham addressing a myriad of themes few others in his position care to address.

It is with this elegant late-career outfit, the Graham Bonnet Band, that this consummate powerhouse of a vocalist and charmer of a front man will be focusing moving forward. With Day Out In Nowhere, Bonnet’s third release with Frontiers Music, expect Graham to hit the tour trail (conditions permitting), proving that his recent command of the stage through Michael Schenker reunion shows the world over was in no way some sort of lucky streak but an unexpected late-period burst of energy.
