Bonnie Koloc is a fascinating figure in American folk music!.She was born on February 6, 1944, in Waterloo, Iowa. The first in her family to attend college, she enrolled at the University of Northern Iowa, initially majoring in drama before switching to art, supporting herself by singing. In 1968, she relocated from Iowa to Chicago, where she became a vital part of the city’s burgeoning folk scene. By the 1970s, she was recognized as one of the “trinity of the Chicago folk scene,” alongside Steve Goodman and John Prine. Her angelic falsetto was hailed by critics as “second to none,” and she achieved a minor hit with “Roll Me On the Water” from her 1974 album You’re Gonna Love Yourself in the Morning. In 1984, she starred in the Public Theater’s production of The Human Comedy, earning a Theatre World Bronze Award for Outstanding New Talent on Broadway. Expanding her artistry beyond music, she created A Bestiary in 1996—a collection of linocuts, poetry, and music—which won Best in Show at the Iowa State Fair’s art salon. A gifted visual artist as well, she specializes in printmaking, painting, and ceramics. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including a one-woman show at the Elmhurst Art Museum in 2009. Reflecting on her car
