Sean Bonnette - Blog Posts

Sean Bonnette performing snippets of three new songs -> China Before Communism + Bitch Ass World + Beauty and Truth at The Thunderbird in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 5/1/2025

Recorded by me :)

Sorry i have not been posting as much :( and I'm sorry that these are only highlights- my phone got bricked so i wasn't able to back the full videos up, so this is pretty much all i have because I sent these clips to a friend and was able to redownload them from our conversation. Next weekend i am going to try to recover the full vidoes (very high chance it won't work - but if it does, i will be back with full videos!!) Enjoy these til then. Thank you for being patient. Ily

+ I got to talk to Sean for a few minutes! He signed two of my albums and answered all of my questions, he truly couldn't have been any kinder. Attached are two photos i took + my signed stuff :) — no word on a new album, but if he's playing three new songs at a show, something has to be in the works, right??
