“The California Honeydrops...evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone.” -Rolling Stone

Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifyinggroup that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron BayBluesfest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr.John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman,LechWierzynski,and percussionistBenjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in theirownrite—Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustigon saxophone,Lorenzo Loeraon keyboards/guitar,BeaumontBeaullieuon drums,Miles Blackwellon bass, and regularly accompanied byOliver Tuttleon trombone,Leon Cotteron saxophone/clarinet, andMiles Lyonson trombone/sousaphone—navigating through avast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night.
