honeyhoney can flat out rock. From soft ballads about heartbreak to rockin' tunes about fast love, they bring it on every song. Seriously, I saw this band open a few months back, and they have vastly improved. Their style is unique, their sound is amazing, and their chemistry is unbelievable. They put their heart and soul into each song, and they left me blown away. Truly, a group that deserves more notice from the music world.
Then, there's Joshua James. I don't understand why he was the closing act. If honeyhoney is the sweet dessert, Joshua James is certainly an appetizer. That means you are getting nothing but an appetizer as the last part of your meal, after being served the best dessert you have had in a long time. Kind of disappointing. Don't get me wrong, James has talent, but is definitely more skilled at songwriting than performing his pieces. Watching him try so hard to produce such a small voice was painful to watch at times. Where James shines is discussing the pieces with the audience, and then softly singing a sweet ballad from his soul that entices you to listen closely to his poetic pieces about the search for spiritual connection in a world lacking basic human contact. This is what saves the night for James. Unfortunately, he tries a little too hard to rock out Jeff Buckley style, but simply doesn't have the pipes to carry a tune like Buckley.
Overall, a great night of music. Get there early, and get up close to watch honeyhoney rock the stage. You won't be sorry.
