It’s Christian Lily, 24, and Stephen Bonner’s, 39, first time playing together in the street, but they definitely have already established a unique style that sets them apart from all other outdoor musical acts. Playing an instrument he calls the Bonnertron, Bonner easily compliments Lily’s steady rhythm on the drums.
The Bonnertron is based on a design from the website Music from OuterSpace consisting of mini module synthesizers and a retrofitted monophonic keyboard. It took about a week to make.
Lily, who is from Somerville, has played the drums for ten years, but has been playing on the streets for the past six months.
“It’s just nice and warm, and you can meet people, and make some money," Lily says. "You can make anything from a couple bucks to $30. When you play more popular stuff or Reggae, you definitely make more.”
