Shhor, Miles Bonny – Letters From The Desert | album
Married parents Shhor (Siobhan Bonny-O’Rourke) and Miles Bonny met in Melbourne Australia while they were each on their paths as solo performing musicians. Now they combine their soulful story and sounds on their first album together, Letters from the Desert. Miles Bonny is the Lumberjack Soul Singing and Flugelhorn playing underground legend with a track record of working with top tier dance and hip hop producers including Kenny Dope, Osunlade, Waajeed, Ta-Ku, DJ Day, Tall Black Guy, Suff Daddy, Brenk Sinatra, J Rawls, Reggie B, Joc Max, Buscrates, Twit One, Chrissy Murderbot, and more. His music has taken him through Europe and Australia, where he met Shhor. Shhor is the Tasmanian-born songstress who has been produced by Louie Vega, M-Phazes, Mike Steva and is a top tier artist of the Melbourne, Australia music scene which includes Rita Satch, Allysha Joy, Audrey Powne, and Hiatus Kaiyote, mutual friends of Shhor and Miles’. When Miles visited Melbourne to perform with Osunlade, he met Shhor and the rest is history. The songs Miles was known for such as 5 o’Clock Suff clarified Miles’ interest in meeting that special someone and now he had. Together they have performed and led workshops in the USA, Australia and Europe. Shhor has moved to the USA with Miles where they are now parents. While in the high desert town of Taos, New Mexico, they created this album as a reflection of their lives together. As referenced in the songs “Flyyy Away” and “Honor my Love”, in the future, they will move to Shhor’s homeland of Tasmania, Australia. While parents raising children is not a rare concept, it is rare to hear an album created by those parents about the process. This curse-free album will be embraced by parents and music fans alike.
