Bonne Finken electrifies her sound

In this episode of IPR Studio One's "Java Blend," Des Moines powerhouse Bonne Finken trades laid back acoustic arrangements for grand, sprawling electronic tunes. 

Download the podcast below to hear host Ben Kieffer chat with Finken on her decision to go electronic. 

Bonne Finken was born to sing, and has been a professional vocalist since 2005. But it took a battle with cancer to really  get her in gear. Once she got the word from doctors saying she was cancer-free, she wasted no time, joining her first band only a few weeks later. With no previous musical training, Finken taught herself everything she knows today, learning by ear and writing her own music.

2016 has proven to be a busy year for Finken so far. She has been recording her upcoming album with electro-pop producers GlennSawyer and Rich Veltrop of The Spot Studios in Lakewood,CO.

"SpeakToMe" was released August 12th, 2016. Finken’s fierce passion for and commitment to her music is only amplified by her voice, her magnetic stage presence and by her diverse musical talent.
