“Wilderhoney” EP Out Now!

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:

As 2023 wraps up…

Get into the wintery mood with last year’s Bermuda Snowhawk!

The 2023 edition will be shoved in some sort of stocking around the 21st!

Keep ’em comin!
