Auguste Arthur Bondy, also known as Scott Bondy and A. A. Bondy, is an American alternative folk artist from Birmingham, Alabama.

Early life

Bondy was born in New Roads, Louisiana and raised in Mountain Brook, Alabama, where he attended Mountain Brook High School.[1]

Career

Bondy is the former lead singer and guitarist in the rock band Verbena, which he founded in the early-1990s. After the band broke up in 2003, he recorded his debut solo album, American Hearts, in a barn near his home Palenville, New York.[2] The album, released in 2007, marked a shift in musical direction towards a more traditional and minimalist folk sound,[3][4] with Bondy playing mostly acoustic guitar and harmonica.
