FIRST WEEKEND GUEST ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT: The California Honeydrops January 16-18, 2015 The California Honeydrops don’t just play music—they throw parties. Drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B, Funk, Southern Soul, Delta blues, Jug Band, and New Orleans Second-line, the Honeydrops bring vibrant energy and infectious dance-party vibes to their live shows. They’ve taken the party all over the world: on their nine European tours, to featured slots at premiere festivals such as Monterey Jazz, High Sierra, and Outside Lands, and performances in 2013 supporting B.B. King, Dr. John, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. “…they’re getting a lot of play on my turntable lately.” - Bonnie Raitt “…The California Honeydrops, from Oakland, are the most refreshing act to roll down the blues highway in some time. Few groups before them have melded so many strains of African American music into such a seamless whole…” — LEE HILDEBRAND, LIVING BLUES MAGAZINE “Though from Oakland, their Southern-fried jazz is so authentic that [audiences] may wonder whether they’ve been transported to the Big Easy.” — LA TIMES
