Hackensaw Boys, California Honeydrops coming to Old Rock House
Hackensaw Boys

With
feet firmly planted in the old-time song tradition, hands soiled by the
dirt of rock n’ roll and eyes fixed steadily on the future of real
country music, the Hackensaw Boys are among the most exciting groups
charting new territory in today’s diverse Americana music scene.
Everybody sings a bit of lead, everybody sings a bit of harmony and most
members know when to shut up. Instrumentation includes banjo, guitar,
mandolin, fiddle, harmonica, upright bass, charismo (a home-made tin can
contraption) and the occasional trap kit.
California Honeydrops

To
those who have seen the California Honeydrops, it may come as a shock
that the young frontman, Lech Wierzynski, was born in Warsaw, Poland.
The California Honeydrops are not just another throwback band. “My
brother and I had to assimilate to modern American society,” Wierzynski
explains, “so we loved all the popular stuff on the radio too,
especially Hip-Hop, R&B. Knowing music was our way of proving we
were American.” When Lech was ready to combine all his influences into
one cohesive sound, he formed the California Honeydrops. The music
speaks not just to the heart and soul, but also to the body; people have
no choice but to dance. Drawing heavily on Southern soul and Bay Area
R&B with a twist of New Orleans second-line street music, the
Honeydrops defy genres. Their style may not have a name, but one thing
is certain: The California Honeydrops don’t just play music. They throw
parties.
