Bonnie Bell

Bonnie Brandi Bell is one of the protagonists of the TV show The Girls In The Band.

History
She was born on November 22, 1978, in Iowa City, Iowa, the only child of Rachel Bell and her unnamed boyfriend, who took off to find a job as a journalist in Indiana soon after Bonnie's birth.

Rachel moved herself, Bonnie, then age 5, and the family dog, Sally, to Schaumburg, Illinois, down the street from Rose Rocher's Corner Store.

At the age of 14, she met 13-year-old Jane Durain at a concert.

When she was 15, she fulfilled her dream of going to an international school in Vienna, Austria for a year.

She was introduced to Durain's two other best friends, Pearl Duke and Crystal Towner, and in February 1998, the four formed a band called "The Girls In The Band."

In August 1999, she and Towner began a romantic relationship. They married in 2015.

In November 2001, the band was signed to the American Experiment record label.

When she was 39, the band broke up (on good terms) upon the death of Bonnie's mother and her following depression.
