THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS IN CONCERT:

The old-timey blues and R&B of The California Honeydrops transports fans to a bygone musical era every time they take the stage. At their live shows the band whips up a New Orleans-style party, turning out their rootsy, celebratory tunes with infectious energy and tremendous musical prowess. In addition to guitar, drums, upright bass, trumpet, and saxophone The California Honeydrops incorporate old-fashioned instruments like jug, washboard, and gutbucket bass that are a heck of a lot of fun to see in action. Leading the charge is band leader Lech Wierzynski, a multi-talented performer whose soulful voice and clever lyrics make songs like "Pumpkin Pie" and "Like You Mean It" shine. Ticket buyers looking for a fresh take on the sounds of yesterday won't want to miss these talented performers as they bring the house down with their boisterous performances on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Polish-born Lech Wierzynski cut his teeth playing jazz and blues at late night jam sessions while living in Washington, D.C. After studying with Ray Charles' former trumpet player Marcus Belgrave he relocated to Oakland, where in 2007 he formed the California Honeydrops. The group spent their early days performing in the city's subway stations, honing an interactive style that engaged passerby with their rollicking tunes. In 2008 they started making waves above ground, releasing their debut album Soul Tub! and then embarking on a European tour of Germany, Poland, and The Netherlands.  While still occasionally performing in Oakland subways, the band followed up with the albums Spreadin' Honey (2010) and Like You Mean It (2013), both of which they supported with extensive touring and performances at major festivals like the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival and the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Hot on the heels of their 2015 album River's Invitation and their first Australian tour, The California Honeydrops are in peak form and ready to get ticket buyers feeling good on tour.

    Phoned it in for the hometown shows

    by Lalala on 3/12/24The Fillmore - San Francisco

    I’ve seen them 10-20 times over the years and this set of three shows were amongst the worst. They failed to play a lot of their best songs (which is crazy considering it was 3 shows) and failed to bring the energy, opting to play more of their slower stuff.

    Wonderful music in an epic building

    by DancingK on 3/10/24The Fillmore - San Francisco

    We planned to arrive after they started playing, about 8:00. Lots of people in line still but it moved fast. Wished we had known they have cost check (!!!!) open. And since we know the building well, it's always a walk down memory lane ...the bushel of apples, the chandeliers, the posters. Honeydrops absolutely performed as we expected. They were thrilled to be back "home"and they brought everyone they could. Horn section phenomenal, as are all the components of this incredible band!

    Fun band, great show

    by CWinOC on 3/5/24The Sound - Del Mar

    We've been waiting to see the California Honeydrops in a show on their own as opposed to being the opener or part of a festival. This show delivered! Show started a little bit after 8:00 with no opener so we got the California Honeydrops for the entire 2 1/2 hours. Very energetic and fun to see and dance to. The whole band is loaded with charisma.

    Great band! Very fun and upbeat.

    by Sharon on 3/5/24The Sound - Del Mar

    The California Honeydrops play a great mix of New Orleans/R&B/Rock that is very danceable. There are horns and even a tuba involved! The Sound is also a great venue.
