AND

Honeybear the band

We debut The Cure,  a new album from the wonderfully surprising Honeybear the band. (Vancouver)

A delicious mix of R&B, gospel, soul, early rock roots, Bobby Womack, Slim Harpo, Sam Cooke, Fats Domino. Not covers, my friends. Original songs they’ve written and brought to the stage.

 Joining us to tell those Honeybear stories is co-founder, co-writer, vocals and guitar Colin Brumelle. Some of the stories are actually true.
