Kevin Bonner is a musician from Dungloe, who began singing from a young age in various local venues. 

He left the music scene due to family commitments but has returned in recent years with a broad repertoire of songs from country and folk, to Irish ballads. 

Following his grandson's baptism celebrations at home, he picked up his guitar and sang a rendition of Elvis Presley's classic hit, "Can't help falling in Love," which was recorded at the time and posted online. The feedback he received prompted him to venture back into music. 

Kevin has recorded several cover tracks in recent times, to deliver brand new and exciting versions of old classics, including Tom T Hall's "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine," which is his debut single and is accompanied by "If We Only Had Old Ireland Over Here," on his latest release. 

He has also written his own songs, which will be released in the very near future. Kevin's tracks have been delivered to radio stations all over, and you can also listen to Kevin on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes.
