At the heart of Evening Hymns is Jonas Bonnetta, a soft-spoken songwriter from rural Ontario. “Spirit Guides”, Bonnetta’s first release under the name Evening Hymns, is a heartbreakingly beautiful record. Its no surprise that not only the blogosphere has caught on to this excellent act, but his praises are sung by more than just dudes with macbooks – look no further than the CBC, who predict that Evening Hymns will “break” in 2010.
