The California Honeydrops don't just play music—they throw parties. In 2022, The California Honeydrops performed their first headlining date at Red Rocks Amphitheater and have blown away audiences across the country during the many festival performances, including High Sierra, Burning Man, DelFest, and FloydFest, to name just a few. If you saw any of their performances at either DelFest or FloydFest this year, you know exactly what we mean!
Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski, the band draws on diverse musical influences, including San Francisco Bay Area R&B, Southern soul, Delta blues, and New Orleans second line, to bring a vibrant energy to their shows.
The Honeydrops have come a long way since Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland subway station, but the band has stayed true to that organic, street-level feel. Listening to Lech sing, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw, Poland, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and Louis Armstrong. With the additions of Johnny Bones (Tenor Saxophone / Clarinet), Lorenzo Loera (keyboards), and Beau Beaullieu (bass), they've built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski's bright amber honeylike vocals.
Assembling their five core members plus two to three more world-class musicians each show, the Honeydrops deliver an eclectic performance and innovative recording style, evident in the seven studio albums, three live albums, and two cover albums the band has released since forming in 2008.
