What people are saying
Deni Bonet and Chris Flynn's performances are irresistible for their charisma and musicality.
Together they remind me George Burns and Gracie Allen, or Lucy and Ricky; their banter, charisma and musicality combine to create a playful, lively, sometimes surprising performance.
Great to have hosted you at Wexford Arts Centre. Wonderful evening of stunning music, stories and songs!
What a wonderful evening! It was a pleasure to meet you and Chris and an equal pleasure to experience your combined incredible musicianship. Here's to more Bonet & Flynn in years to come.
Thank you for your amazing performance at the Steamer Firehouse Gallery!! Everyone loved you (of course). The only people who were disappointed were those who had other plans on Friday.
Thank you so much for a fabulous night! You are so full of LIGHT and LOVE! (plus talent, joy, and the list goes on…) You and Chris are wonderful together. We all had a terrific night. Thank you so much!
I loved watching the interactions between Deni and Chris. I had a wonderful time, and many of our patrons and staff told me that they did as well! We will all be talking about this concert for a long time to come — Deni and Chris are blessed with such talent!
Acclaimed violinist Deni Bonet and guitarist Chris Flynn wowed an enthusiastic audience with an outstanding performance at our library. The exceptional performance, fun stories, and upbeat energy created a fantastic evening for all that were lucky to see the show. We can't wait to have them back at the Patterson Library!
Deni Bonet and Chris Flynn are a refreshing musical delight! I, and our patrons, highly recommend them for a library concert!
A concert with Deni and Chris is better than a B12 shot!
The duo
Two players with a sound so big, you'll look for the band.
There is a rare magic in hearing two musicians create a sound so rich and expansive that you'd swear a full band was hiding in the wings. That is the signature experience of Deni Bonet and Chris Flynn.
Having graced legendary stages from Carnegie Hall to Mountain Stage, this dynamic duo brings an unforgettable and diverse energy to every performance. At the heart of their sound is a captivating balance of melody and motion. Deni's virtuosic violin playing is a force of nature, soaring, expressive, and technically brilliant. Underpinning that melodic flight is Chris's guitar work, which drives the sound with a deep, physical pulse. He effortlessly anchors the groove and holds down the harmony, giving the music a steady heartbeat you can actually feel. On top of this foundation, both swap effortlessly between commanding lead vocals and tight, interlocking harmonies.
A live show with Deni and Chris is defined by warm, playful interaction with the audience. They treat every gig like a shared experience, with the simple goal of giving the crowd a joyful escape for an hour or two. Whether they are trading off vocal duties or letting the instruments tell the story, Deni and Chris leave every audience smiling, energized, and completely connected.
