The Seattle-based folk/pop trio Uncle Bonsai will make their first appearance ever at the Treehouse Café at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 17.

With just three voices and an acoustic guitar, Uncle Bonsai presents an array of intricate vocal harmony. Their songs, dark and hilarious at times, just as often delight with moments of insight and beauty.

They’ve been described as what might happen if Tim Burton hijacked the Andrew’s Sisters, or The Indigo Girls, seated on a cross-country bus next to Leonard Cohen.

Their tunes include odes to underachievement, the dejected, the outsider, the black sheep; rapid-fire lyrics about First World problems, the afterlife, and holidays with the family.

Said the Associated Press: “The group has achieved an almost cult status…their music ranges from irreverent to ironic, from satirical to sad. And despite the folk tag, their music defies categorization as it incorporates elements of jazz, pop, Broadway, reggae, and classical.”

Tickets, on sale now, are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Visit www.treehousebainbridge.com to learn more, purchase. Entrance is 21-and-older only.
