The Honeycutters feature original americana, ranging from country ballads to honky-a-billy and blues, crafting a memorable blend of catchy melody, skillful composition, and honest songwriting.
The product of too much black coffee and not enough hugs, the Honeycutters
(formerly the Bee's Knees) came together in the Spring of 2007. Since their first live performance at the Westville Pub in May of 07, when the band included only singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and lead guitarist Peter James, they have steadily gained momentum, audience, and band members. Spencer Taylor (Mandolin), Ian Harrod (bass), and Mike Lott (drums) have been added to the mix, fleshing out the live sound and turning Amanda's soulful tunes into great dance numbers. With the release of their first studio album, "Irene", the group has begun to expand their listening area to the greater Southeast.
