Featured Artists June 12th
HoneyBree
Bio: HoneyBree is the amalgamation of the raw realness of jazz, the glamour and grandiosity of opera, and the oddities of alternative, emo and rock. Their sound lands somewhere between the current Cupid of jazz-pop, Laufey, and the early emo hues of My Chemical Romance, HoneyBree presents a darker, more saturated view of the world through their thoughtful lyricism and hypnotic harmonic progressions.
