Bon Bon Vivant celebrates the bon vivant spirit of the Big Easy with energetic shows and music that crosses the genre map, ranging from dark, persistent ballads to catchy dance grooves on songs like “Gone, Gone, Gone” and the ska-spiced “Ship is Sinking.” Bon Bon Vivant includes frontwoman and songwriter Abigail Cosio, singer and saxman Jeremy Kelley, bassist Jason Jurzak, and percussionist Deacon Marrquin; the band employs a full palette of instruments, and frequently augments their unique sound with surprising guest stars. The band is closely entwined with the Krewe of Red Beans Mardi Gras group and parade, a perfect fit for their quirky, intelligent, and spirited sound.
