Steve Bonham
… and award winning psychologist
Wide-brimmed hat. Long dark coat. Guitar slung on back. 32 years on the road. 100,000 miles and half a thousand hotel rooms. From the Berlin Wall to the Atlas Mountains, from the Sahara Desert to the streets of Hong Kong: a man who has learned to watch and to listen, to walk and talk in the ebb and flow of meeting and parting
Welcome to the home of Steve Bonham, songwriter, author, performer.
Steve Bonham
Author. Storyteller. Songwriter. Vagabond philosopher.
I write books and songs and do talks, and tell stories about places and people — often with a guitar close to hand.
They’re stories about roads taken and roads avoided, about music, wilderness, myth, failure, freedom, and the odd flash of hope.
I’ve spent a lifetime wandering — across America and elsewhere — by bus, by car, on foot, and occasionally by getting lost. Along the way I’ve written books, made music, and built live shows that blend storytelling, song, humour and reflection.
Some people come for the stories.
Some come for the music.
Others come because they’re standing at a crossroads of their own.
Most leave feeling they’ve travelled somewhere — even if they never left their seat.
