About the Event
String whomper. Word wrangler. Sparklemeister.
DEan Bonzani grew up singing and performing. After an early period of puppetry, he appeared in his first musical in sixth grade, and spent his high school years onstage in musicals, one act plays, reader’s theater, dramatic interp, pantomime, and marionette productions. Voted “Most Talented” in his graduating class 0f 1980, he was awarded a scholarship to Northern Arizona University for theater. He also studied theater and music at Arizona State University, before settling in Flagstaff, where he began performing solo gigs as a singer/songwriter, and with his various ensembles. For many years, he hosted the notorious Thursday night open mic at the Mad Italian Public House, a scene that launched a number of popular underground Flagstaff musical acts, and whose mayhem and majesty will be forever embedded in the minds of the crowds who packed the place.
These days, he divides his time between his recording studio, Flup Lab, live performance on the Western Slope and North Fork Valley, and his vinyl sticker studio, SIGNchronicity. He’s currently working on, and touring in support of, Spiderbox, the follow up album to Windows In The Sky. He is co-producer of Stinky Time Theater: The Puppet Show At The End Of Time, along with Pint Sized Riot Productions creative partner and rock bassist Elizabeth "Tasha Zarathustra" Bonzani. You can enjoy the soundtrack to the show in the ongoing Songs of Stinkytime Theater - Season One.
