“The California Honeydrops…evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy ofSly and the Family Stone.”-Rolling Stone

Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit California Honey Drops are an electrifying group that defies convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Blues Fest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman, Lech Wierzynski, and drummer Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite—Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone,Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar,Beaumont Beaullieu on bass, and regularly accompanied by Scott Messersmith on percussion, Oliver Tuttleon trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, andMiles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone—navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation-a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including “Dead To Me,” “Alaska Daily,” “Black-ish” and more. They are currently touring North America in support of their new deluxe album, \\\’Soft Spot\\\’
