Check out the new Wilderhoney EP via Bandcamp:
6 Tommy Plural arrangements, produced/mixed by Adam Aymor.
Tommy says:
Wilderhoney? Well, it’s within The Wild Honey Collective, but it’s also just Wilderhoney (wil- as in wilderness, wilderpeople, far out) – basically if the show is built around Adam and I shooting each other knowing looks and changing things on the fly then it’s Wilderhoney. We recorded 6 songs while jamming with Joel this fall and here it is! We’ll play most of it tonight at Moriarty’s / A Wild Honey Evening at Moriarty’s (1/26).
6 songs: traditionals, an original, a Jeremy Porter song, an Easy Rider The Byrds classic, and a Sonic Youth song that always deserved a Neil Young treatment. Wilderhoney Tommy/Adam/Joel trio with various vocal assists from Dani and A Rueful Noisers Nicholas and Jennifer. Check it out!
In the meantime, the full Wild Honey lineup of Tommy-Dani-Timmy-Dan-Adam-Joel is inching closer to completing the Volume 3 LP for a summer release. To get us through these slow winter moments the band has shot some videos, live-in-the-studio style, shot and edited by Dan Jaquint. Here’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes” – way more country rockin’ than the string band take found on Volume 2, but that’s what 2+ years of constant gigging will do to ya:

Interview about the album with Rich Tupica in City Pulse!
Free download at Bandcamp:
It’s a mystery why the big ol’ streamers are calling an instrumental song “explicit,” but rest assured the whole family can enjoy this collection of songs about UFOs, murder, drinking, boating, cosmic consciousness etc etc 
YouTube:
Coming Friday September 1st: “Chicory” – a 7 track mini-album of Wild Honey arrangements of songs by Calliope, Fred Eaglesmith, Michael Dause/Shantyland, Grateful Dead, plus some new original instrumental pieces. Culled from the sessions of our forthcoming “Volume 3” album, “Chicory” is springing up like a late summer wildflower and will be streaming everywhere 9/1/2023. Today you can check out “Marquette Bay,” written by Michael Dause and based on an arrangement we saw him play with Ben Traverse earlier this year – free download available at GTG Records Bandcamp!
