Summary: <p>Bonny Light Horseman is a new trio consisting of <a href="https://www.newsounds.org/story/234973-anais-mitchell-studio/">Anais Mitchell</a>, the songwriter behind the all-conquering Broadway musical <em>Hadestown</em>; Eric D Johnson, who leads the band Fruit Bats; and Josh Kaufman, who’s played with The National, Craig Finn, and many others. Together they are taking a new look at old folk songs from both sides of the Atlantic. The band name is actually from an old Napoleonic folk song about a handsome soldier who may or may not ever come home (here's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuG6iIr4uaY" target="_blank">their version</a>.) With intimate harmonies and heartbreaking choruses, the trio Bonny Light Horseman plays music from their shimmering, chill-inducing self-titled debut, in-studio. </p> <p><em>Watch the session here:</em></p>
