THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS:
“The California Honeydrops...evoke the greasy rumble ofBooker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone.” -Rolling Stone
Formedin the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydropsare an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become amainstay 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 andenergetic 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 Beaullieu on drums,Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, LeonCotter on saxophone/clarinet, and MilesLyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire oforiginal songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets themapart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation - a skill sofinely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and notwo shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has been streamed more than200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including “Dead ToMe,” “Alaska Daily,” “Black-ish” and more. They are currently touring NorthAmerica in support of their new album, ‘Keep On Diggin’.
