About The California Honeydrops
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (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, Lech Wierzynski, and percussionist Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar, Beaumont Beaulieu on drums, Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night.
But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation — a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists, and no two shows are ever the same.
Offstage, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times and placed in a variety of TV and films, including Dead To Me, Alaska Daily, Black-ish, and more. Their new album, Redwood Highway, was released August 8, 2025.
