Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. This band’s songs are joyous, fierce, honest and heartbreaking as they chronicle life and all it entails through the sounds of the minor keys.

Bon Bon Vivant is made up of songwriter /front-woman Abigail Cosio, Saxophonist/ vocalist Jeremy Kelley, on Sousaphone and Bass is Jason Jurzak, drums and percussion by Deacon Marrquin. The bands unique instrumentation is also a thing to watch and leaves listeners reaching to identify what kind of music they are hearing. With brass horns and a rotating cast of New Orleans musicians coming through, this sound is alive and something to experience.

Locally, BBV is one of the highlighted acts in the New Orleans music scene, Awarded Best Emerging Artist of 2018 by Off Beat Magazine. BBV plays regularly in New Orleans with upcoming appearances at French Quarter Fest, Jazz Fest, Bayou Boogaloo and tours regularly spreading the gospel of decadence, reverence and revelry with their infectious live shows. A second full length studio album is coming out soon with a supporting tour. See them play all over the country in theaters, clubs, festivals, and even the occasional pop-up street busk. This band has a truly timeless and unique sound.

BBV returns to Kauai after a sell-out show in 2023!

Experience the heart of Hawaiian culture and its herbal medicine tradition at
a special event on Saturday, August 31 at the Lawai International Center in Kalaheo.
This extremely popular workshop will be led by Sean Chun, a renowned
Hawaiian cultural practitioner from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Chun will discuss
Hawaiian healing methodology and philosophy, including the use of la’au
and ho’oponopono. La’au is healing with spirituality and herbs that address
the body, mind, and spirit. Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of
reconciliation and forgiveness.
“We’ll talk about an overview of traditional Hawaiian healing, history, and
about various arts that are practiced. A lot that’s out there today isn’t really
traditional.” Chun said. “I’ll try to bring more awareness.”
“Holding the workshop and demonstration at the Lawai International Center
is fitting. It’s a good combination of place, time, and people who really
understand what healing is about.” Chun said.
Sean Chun is the island coordinator of Kaua’i Kupuna Council of Traditional
Healers, the cultural resource coordinator for Ho’ola Lahui Hawai’i, and
