The Honey Brothers new EP comes out Today

There’s just so many musical things going on in my life it is hard to keep track!   This super fun record just came out today (available everywhere online).   I liked the way Snobmusic put it: “Sometimes you can just hear the first few notes of a record and say “I will be listening to that all summer long”.  I had one of those moments when I hit play on Demonstration, the forthcoming EP (out June 16th) from New York fiver-piece The Honey Brothers.“

We’re playing all over the country this summer at sweet festivals.  The EP has already been featured on Spinner.com, Artist Direct, Relix Magazine.   Not a bad start.

We recorded it over a week in midst of a New York winter - but still warm from our tour of Australia.   Producer Brad Albetta did a gorgeous job with our musicality and insanity.   And his studio had the most AMAZING views I’ve ever seen.  It was perhaps the most inspiring element of the EP.   Ask us about it sometime.  (Hint - buried low in the song “Moonlight” you might hear Honey DuContra joyously exclaiming a particular word while playing his drums).   Also stunning was the musical cameo by David Amram, a friend of Hoyt Honey’s father.  His fleet fingers sounded the most dulcet tunes on his penny-whistle, which you can hear at the end of “Moonlight.“    Apologies that it’s only four songs - but it’ll be a good fix for your summer - and this fall we’ll turn out something more substantial, PROMISE!   See you soon!
