Bon Bon Vivant Swing Band

A bon viveur is someone who has a posh, social lifestyle who appreciates good cuisine, drink, and music. This attitude of festivity and celebration is best exemplified by a live performance of Bon Bon Vivant. BBV respects both this way of thinking and the place they call home, New Orleans. With lyrics like "start living now while you've got living left," the band experiments with high-energy dance music and dark, seductive melodies. This music captures the paradox of appreciating the light while knowing that the dark is never far behind! A New Orleans-based indie band called Bon Bon Vivant enthralls crowds around the nation with their distinctive fusion of singer-songwriter, jazz-inspired, Americana, dark ballads, and brisk indie dance rock. In addition to paying respect to the boisterous New Orleans sound, BBV's original music also infuses an indie flavor that creates a lasting impression on listeners. Locally, BBV is one of the most prominent musicians in the New Orleans music scene after winning Off Beat Magazine's Best Emerging Artist of 2018 award. Following a long period without a festival, they will make their debut at Jazz Fest in 2022. BBV often tours, using their electrifying live performances to spread the word about decadence, reverie, and revelry.
