The California Honeydrops Are Bringing The Party To Mississippi Studios
The California Honeydrops are living proof that pursuing your dream can be rewarding, taking you literally from the streets to working major festivals all across the country. That is exactly what band leader Lech Wierzynski did with the small acoustic group he first formed in college back in Ohio, relocating to Oakland, California and teaming with original California Honeydrop member Ben Malament. They began playing on the train platforms for tips and became so popular they started receiving gigs at venues all around the Bay Area with their fun-filled music combining New Orleans second line material with blues and roots music. Their first release generated a Blues Music Award nomination for debut recording and they’ve been on a steady upward movement in demands for performances from coast to coast.
The music is infectious and good times-inducing. Supporting their latest album, Like You Mean It, The California Honeydrops return to Portland for a show at Mississippi Studios on Thursday, May 29th at 9:00 pm. This is a 21 and older only show. Tickets are available in advance at Ticketbiscuit.com for $13.00. The California Honeydrops don’t just play music. They throw parties.
