OFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE HONEY HONEY Burlap and opals. Moonshine and macrobiotics. Shaken and soothed. How Suzanne Santo (vocals/banjo/violin) and Ben Jaffe (vocals/guitar) managed to reconcile not just polemics, but seemingly opposed realities for their sexually tinged, bruised knee honeysuckle take on roots music has to be heard to be understood. “…the common pop thread between alt. country, spaghetti western soundtracks and swampy blues.” – Paste“…honey honey deftly mixes elements of folk, soul, country, pop, and rock…” – Glide

OFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE THE WILLOWWACKS A married couple who met at university in the midwest and now live in St. Augustine, Florida. Our first self-titled EP is out now and combines the simplicity of folk music, with the dense, imaginative, sonic landscapes of modern day indie/chamber pop. It expresses where we were when we finally decided to partner up and do life together. We put a lot of effort into the details and started out with an approach a la “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and chose songs that represented parts of our lives that were less than public. Our second record has been in the works since mid-summer and is currently satiating our dual appetite for minimalist rock n’ roll and getting our songs recorded really, really fast.
