Honeytown, a high energy Americana band based in Kidron, will perform live at Java Jo Coffee Bar in Berlin on Friday, May 13 from 8-10 pm to celebrate the release of their first CD, Nobody's Fault But Mine.
Honeytown's inimitable sound combines elements of progressive bluegrass, four-part acapella, classic rock and pop folk with fun instrumentation, keeping listeners engaged and intrigued.
The members, hailing from Holmes and Wayne counties, each bring a unique flavor to the group's personality. The four-piece group features Tim Shue, Nate Gundy, Kevin Himes and Toby Hazlett. The band's eclectic musical mix of original compositions, unexpected arrangements and tightly-blended harmonies have won them a fan base all over the midwest. Their varied instrumentation ranges from fiddle to banjo, washboard to bass ukulele, accordion to percussive trash cans, taking audiences by pleasant surprise.
Honeytown has enjoyed performing for weddings, benefits, houseconcerts and coffeehouses. They were the showcased musical guests with both Akron's Summit Choral Society as well as the Cantate Singers performing The World Beloved, a Bluegrass Mass. They play regularly at Lehman's Old Fashioned Hardware in Kidron, have been the guest band for the men's vocal ensemble, Sonnenberg Station, wowed the audience at Central Christian School's The Frohliche Dorf Show, and were the featured adult worship band at the Mennonite Church USA Convention in Columbus in 2009.
The May 13 show is free, and a tip jar for the band will be available. For more information about the show, call Java Jo Coffee Bar at (330) 893-9211.
