The Honey Bees
What’s that Buzz you’re hearing? It’s the sweet sounds of the Honey Bees! Equal parts 30’s era Jazz, Western Swing, Folk-Rock and oddball Americana, the Bees mix it all up with flair, fun and a hint of mischief. Standards, favorites and chestnuts are equally delivered with the original music of chanteuse Mary Fagan, who also keeps time and tone on acoustic guitar and piano. Guitarist Chris O’Neill colors the nectar with sassy chording on a hollow-body jazzbox and nimble runs on the Fender Telecaster. Holding it down low on the “big” bass, Jock Irvine keeps it cool and swinging while enhancing the mix with casual back up vocals. Greg Mostovoy adds an array of horns to fit the moments and drummer Paul Donahue keeps all the toes tapping with his rock solid drumming.
