With a new album from her band Gramma's Boyfriend just around the corner (Perm, out Oct. 9 via Graveface Records), Haley Bonar made a pit stop at the Great Minnesota Get-Together to perform a few solo sets.

And the MPR booth crowd on the corner of Judson and Nelson was in for a treat: Haley Bonar debuted two new songs off her forthcoming solo album Pretty Not Bad in addition to a favorite off 2014's Last War for her live performance during Mark Wheat's broadcast from the 2015 Minnesota State Fair.

Mark Wheat broadcasts live from the 2015 Minnesota State Fair each weekday from 3-7 p.m. Check Minnesota Public Radio's live performance schedule for the Great Minnesota Get-Together.
