“The California Honeydrops...evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy ofSly 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. But what truly sets them apart is theirunwavering commitment to the art of improvisation-a skill so finely honed that they have completelyabandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has beenstreamed more than 200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including “Dead To Me,”“Alaska Daily,” “Black-ish” and more.
