Honey & the Bear have been a tour de force on the UK folk circuit in recent years. The British folk and roots duo combine delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative songwriting. With a diverse range of sounds and textures, and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads, their live performances are spirited and dynamic. Conjuring stories in song, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire and their passion for nature, stories which have been enchanting audiences up and down the country..
The multi-instrumentalist, husband and wife team comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar, bass, bouzouki) and Lucy Hart (guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin & percussion). Jon, a Yorkshire boy, raised in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, has been performing his own songs since his teens. A self taught guitarist, his love of driving guitar riffs is a core aspect of his song writing process.. Born and raised in Suffolk, Lucy learned violin and drums at school, sung in the Suffolk Jubilee choir and started songwriting at age 15. She taught herself guitar whilst at university in Canterbury, and began performing her creations not long afterwards. They will be joined on-stage by guest Archie Churchill-Moss (diatonic button accordion) who features on all three Honey & The Bear studio albums. Together they have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK as well as travelled across the channel.
Honey & The Bear's live performances are overwhelmingly affirmative, their beautiful harmonies, charismatic stage presence and masterful multi-instrumentalism creating a special ambience. Their ability to move from energetic, foot-stomping tales to poignant, stripped-back ballads, all while weaving in storytelling and myth creates a real personal connection with the audience. They create a warm, communal atmosphere where the duo's genuine enjoyment of their craft shines through.
