Evening Hymns is a Canadian indie folk rock band, whose core member is singer and songwriter Jonas Bonnetta. A native of Orono, Ontario,[1] Bonnetta released a solo recording, Farewell to Harmony, under his own name in 2007 before choosing the name Evening Hymns, because he did not want his music to become pigeonholed as singer-songwriter material.[1] The band consists of Bonnetta and a rotating collective of musicians which includes members of Ohbijou, The Wooden Sky, The Burning Hell, The D'Urbervilles and Forest City Lovers.[2]
Evening Hymns is currently signed to the indie label Out of This Spark and Spirit Guides was released in France on Kütu Folk Records. In June 2013, their studio album Spectral Dusk was longlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.
