Lorenza Ponce..?
 

Who's this joker? She claims she is "Bon Jovi's violinist" and some fool added her to wiki, appearing a couple of times with Jovi doesn't make you a member crazy woman! What about that black dude that played Bongo's at the 11/9 memorial stuff etc. She needs a slap

I don't know the article or whatever you're talking about but I'd presume what she meant was that when Bon Jovi needs a violinist she's the one they come to, which in a sense does make her Bon Jovi's vioinist which is different from her saying she's a member of the band.

Lorenza Ponce plays with Jon almost wherever he performs alone acoustic (without the band) SHE IS ALWAYS THERE for years now ...(she is there since 2000 circa for sure ) the percusionist is almost always there too same for Bobby and Jeff ...but I have seen just Lorenza and Jon during the kerry campain for example

Her Bio says she is 'Bon Jovi's violinist of choice', which is not the same as saying she is Bon Jovi's violinist!
Talk about overreacting to absolutely nothing!

And the "black dude" you are refering to, lol, is Everett Bradley. He played with Jon on the DA tour, as well, as the TLFR shows. He's fantastic.

I first saw Everett Bradley live with Jon solo on July 4th, 1997 and with Richie solo on May 24th , 1998 and many times since. I first saw Lorenza Ponce live with Jon solo at his 10th anniversary bash on August 28th, 1998 so they have both been around for about a decade.

why is Everette Bradley Fantastic??

Mmhmm she IS Bon jovi's violinist just as much as Hugh is Bon Jovi's bassist. Neither are official members but I've never seen anyone else take their position in the band.

Actually that was my dig at whatever chump changed the wiki entry. Although this woman performs with Jon are we in agreeance that she's not worthy of being included in the Bon Jovi Line up?

Ah but that's a different situation; Hugh is a member of Bon Jovi in all but name.

He's very talented. Aside from percussion, he's also a singer, dancer, playwright and choroegrapher.

He used to have a website but it's under construction at the moment.
