Vancouver’s Honeybear, the Band kicks up a lotta dust on their old-school road trip through the back roads of American soul, blues, and roots. As the music blog B-Side Guys puts it, “it’s as if the Teskey Brothers decided to collaborate with the ghost of Muddy Waters.”
Fast becoming a cross-country festival favourite, Honeybear has been recently nominated for a Blues Music Award from the Memphis-based Blues Foundation, was Roots Music Canada’s “New Discovery of the Year”, and was one of the Vancouver Sun’s “10 Artists to Watch in 2026”. They’re pretty great to listen to, too! With Ian Beaty bass and vocals, Colin Brumelle guitar, Mike Kenney keyboards, Tyler Murray drums.
