Honeybear is a vintage soul, blues, and roots quartet, taking you on an old school road trip through the dusty back roads of American music. While Honeybear is a relatively new band formed in 2023, the four band members are old friends and have been playing together in other formations for over a decade, crossing paths on tours across Canada, down the West Coast, and beyond. When the pandemic struck and live music was at a standstill, the four friends found themselves jamming outdoors in parks, with amps and PA’s hooked up to jerry rigged motorcycle batteries, just to bask in the joy that is playing live music with like minded souls. Necessity is the mother of invention, etc. The rest is history. Honeybear’s debut EP (released in March 2024) has over two million streams (and counting) on Spotify. The band has racked up roughly 100K monthly listeners, been featured on official Spotify Editorial playlists Nu Blue, New Music Friday, Blues Bar and Best Blues of 2024, and is looking forward to releasing their first full-length album in spring 2025.
