http://www.honesttune.com http://www.honeyislandswampband.com Trying to find artists at Bear Creek Music Festival -- in all of its electrified and funky glory -- who are able to go unplugged while staying true to their style is like trying to find a Waffle House west of the Mississippi. In other words, it is quite difficult. This said, no matter the location, we could not have found a better outfit than Louisiana based Honey Island Swamp Band to participate in our relatively new but completely awesome Live, Backstage & Unplugged series. Born from displacement at the hands of Hurricane Katrina, the ensemble quickly rose to acclaim in San Francisco with their self-described Bayou-Americana genre, a sound that is perhaps best described by the band's moniker itself. The Honey Island Swamp that is located in Louisiana's Tammany Parish is one of the least altered river swamps in the United States. It is murky, muddy and home to many an indigenous creature. It is nature in its natural state, and Honey Island Swamp Band's music is delivered in the same fashion, where the beauty is most evident due to its unrefined and unaltered raw glory. Rather than go on and on about the band and their sound, we will let you be the judge, so without further ado, we are pleased to present -- in association with Bear Creek Music Festival and Technaflora Plant Products -- Honey Island Swamp Band: Live, Backstage & Unplugged.
The Band were a Canadian-American rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario. It consisted of Canadians Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson and American Levon Helm. The Band's music combined elements of Americana, folk, rock, R&B, jazz and country, which influenced artists including George Harrison, Elton John, the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton and Wilco.
