Summary: <p>The California Honeydrops play stripped-down rootsy music that might sound like country-blues, Southern soul, New Orleans second-line, and R&B - all at once old school and <em>really </em>old-school. Their origin story is inspirational – Polish-born Lech Wierzynski (vocalist, guitarist and trumpeter) and drummer Ben Malament got their start busking in an Oakland subway station, and 10 years later, have added members, gotten tighter, and played all kinds of major tours, opening for Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Allen Toussaint, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. The Honeydrops are, as drummer Ben Malament says “a band that shines because of each other.” They’ll join us in-studio to play new tunes with soulful groove from their double album, <em>Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2.</em></p> <p>Watch the full session here:</p> <p><em> </em></p>
