Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears

Austin-based, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears “has the kind of gritty attitude and deliciously greasy grove-consciousness that'd pass muster in the toughest juke joint.” They are a unique mix of blues and soul with a twist of from-the-gut stream-of-consciousness, “If I sit down and try to write a song, it just sounds contrived. All the songs on this record, I just made up as I went along. I couldn't do a lot of ‘em again if I didn't have ‘em on tape.” They've been featured in LA Weekly, the Washington Post, Spin, New York Post, and Esquire.
