Honeycutters

Like so many of country music's great duos, Amanda Anne Platt and Peter James of the Honeycutters have a palpable musical chemistry evident in the melding of their guitars and harmony singing. Based in Ashville, NC they are frequently mentioned as exemplars of the movement to "take country music back to its roots". The Honeycutters sound "old school country in the truest sense free of twang and ten-gallon hats but full of real emotion, family history, quick wit and strong liquor." (Alli Marshall)
Tal Taylor on mandolin, Ian Harrod on bass, and Jon Ashley on drums will round out the core duo of Platt and James for this special concert supporting the release of their brand new album, When Bitter Met Sweet. Since their debut in 2009, The Honeycutters have shared the stage with such Americana giants as Tony Rice, The Seldom Scene, Donna The Buffalo, and The Steep Canyon Rangers. They have been voted Western North Carolina's favorite Americana act (2011 Mountain Xpress reader's poll) and delighted audiences from upstate New York to Seattle, Washington.
