New Addition to The Emerald City Band!

We are so excited about the new addition to the Emerald City Band family. Introducing Shonna Bonds......

Shonna hit the Dallas music scene four years ago as the lead singer for the popular band Time Machine.

From the moment she began to sing at the age of six in church as well as singing contests throughout the Midwest, winning most of them, she immediately fell in love with country music. It was not until she moved to Dallas in 2005 that she began to sing pop/rock music.

Since then, she has performed almost every night in clubs, casinos, special events and weddings in Texas and surrounding states. This allowed her to spread her wings vocally in many music genres.

She credits Celine Dion and Michael Jackson as her greatest musical influences.

Shonna will now bring her incredible energy and infectious stage presence to the Emerald City Band which will only elevate an already out of this world show!
