BONNIE NORTHGRAVES is a Canadian trumpeter, vocalist, pianist, and composer based in Vancouver, BC. Her Quintet is a trumpet and vocal driven vehicle for her unique compositions. Her singing is smokey, rich, and explorative; her trumpet playing a call to the early jazz styles of New Orleans while being lyrical, intriguing, evolved, and playful.
With one foot rooted in heritage and one foot leading forward she is an engaging musical powerhouse that is exciting, joyful, and chock full of personality. This strong combination has given wings to a music career that’s seen her tour North America, Europe, China, and India.
