“A collection of enjoyable songs and is just solid good music. The band combines a high level of enthusiasm with some dreamy playing.” – Americana Highways
From the band socials:
The first single from our full length album, The Ashen Glow, is live on Bandcamp. The album will be released in the spring on GTG Records and Silver Maple Kill Records. Thank you so much for everyone’s support.
The track was recorded and engineered by the amazing Jason Roedel and mastered by Jim Diamond. The beautiful album art was created by Peter Richards.
Next up for A Rueful Noise is an acoustic set at The Avenue Cafe in Lansing – 7:30 PM on Sunday March 10, w/ Joshua Barton!
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:
The 2023 edition will be shoved in some sort of stocking around the 21st!

Keep ’em comin!
