Nothing soothes my musical soul better than a good dose of folk infused jazz. With smooth soulful vocals and blusey mellow guitar melodies, duo Suzanne Santo & Ben Jaffe of HoneyHoney put the two-step back into the dominating LA indie shuffle. Their cover of Smashing Pumpkins “1979” almost tops the original, taking a great alternative oldie and giving a fresh spin without losing their novelty. “Come on Home” drenched in bluegrass roots with driving bass drum, cranked up guitar and rivating violin medleys by Santo. HoneyHoney are currently on tour with Xavier Rudd to expose and trot out their newly released album First Rodeo.
If you can’t find the time to become a groupie and join them on tour, you’re in luck, because HoneyHoney will be sharing an intimate anonymous evening of music and free-form love with you every Monday night at the Bootleg Theater through March (14th, 21st, 28th).
