Seattle folk pop veterans Uncle Bonsai celebrate the release of a book of illustrated songs, "Monsters in the Closet / Go to Sleep,” two tauntingly twisted tales for tormented parents. It features the trio's trademark angelic harmonies laced with understated -- albeit barbed – humor, reminiscent at times of Tim Burton or Edward Gorey. “These are nicely edgy, sour-sweet songs, written for grown-ups." - Michael Upchurch, The Seattle Times Bonsai shows are often hilarious and musically rewarding experiences, as their humor is balanced with delivery of intricate musical detail. Think Stephen Sondheim filtered through the Beatles. Or Peter, Paul and Mary meets Zappa. Equal part folk/pop/theater/comedic influences.
