The Local Honeys Are Stopping Through The DMV On September 25th & 27th

For almost a decade The Local Honeys have been an integralpart of the Kentucky bluegrass musicscape.  And for more than ten years this duo comprised of  Linda Jean Stokley and Montana Hobbs have worked their craft, crisscrossed the country with the likes of Tyler Childers.  This September The Local Honeydrops make their way to The Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia, and The Howard Theatre, in Washington DC.

On July 15th, 2022, The Local Honeys released their debut self-titled album that features ten winsome vignettes of rural Kentucky, conjuring 90’s alternative sounds with hillbilly Radiohead lilts, soaring above layers of deep grooves and rich tones masterfully curated by longtime mentor Jesse Wells, a Grammy-nominated producer and musician who also happens to be a member of Tyler Childers’ band The Food Stamps.  The resulting album shows off The Local Honeys’ gifted way with words—particularly the playful colloquialisms and regional idiosyncrasies from their home in Kentucky—that simultaneously connect the past and present, old and new.   

Throughout The Local Honeys, the duo demand to be interpreted as creators and storytellers, not just purveyors of tradition. Similarly, the sounds captured within the project cement their place as innovators and rule-breakers. Rollicking banjo meets overdriven guitar hooks and blue-collar rural grit is met with lush melodies and nimble harmonies; it’s a project filled with juxtaposition and it isn’t by accident. It’s reflective of who they are and who they run with. 

Stokley and Hobbs ended up with the most nuanced, moody, deep-holler sound they have captured to date. “This is the first time we’ve actively gotten to express who we are and where we’re from” says Linda Jean, “The songs on the album speak for us,” adds Montana “they’re about what we know, reflections of us as people. We realized we have the power to add our own narrative into Kentucky music.”

Lost Dog Street Band - Lonesome Farewell Tour

The Local Honeys will be stopping in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, DC, in support of the Lost Dog Street Band's "Lonesome Farewell Tour 2022."  Lost Dog Street Band is a husband and wife duo comprised of Benjamin Tod on guitar and vocals and Ashley Mae on fiddle.  Lost Dog Street Band is a country band with deep roots in punk rock providing for a unique sounds.

This sixteen-stop tour is certainly a hidden gem for music lovers of traditional Americana music.  Come out and see Lost Dog Street Band and celebrate The Local Honeys debut album as they come to The Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville on September 25th, and the Howard Theatre on September 27.
