Bonneville recorded his first album, On the Main, in 1992. He's since earned many accolades, including a Juno Award for his 1999 album, "Gust of Wind." His post-Katrina ode, "I Am the Big Easy," earned the International Folk Alliance's 2009 Song of the Year Award, and in 2012, he won the solo/duet category in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge. Bonneville released his ninth studio album, "At King Electric," in 2018. His credits include collaborations with Mary Gauthier, Eliza Gilkyson, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Tim O'Brien, Phil Roy and Gurf Morlix.
