Honeybear, the Band is a Vancouver-based vintage soul, blues and roots quartet, taking you on an old school road trip through the dusty back roads of American music. As music blog B-Side Guys puts it, "It’s as if The Teskey Brothers decided to collaborate with the ghost of Muddy Waters”.

Their debut FACTOR funded album, self-released in June 2025 on their own Playmor label, has received over 6 Million streams on Spotify with ~150k monthly listeners. It’s been featured on official Spotify Editorial playlists New Music Friday, Retro Soul, and Best Blues of 2025. The band is also receiving airplay on CBC, NPR, CKUA and other indie/co-op radio stations across the globe.

Honeybear, The Band has recently been nominated for a Blues Music Award from the Memphis-based Blues Foundation, as well as being included in the Vancouver Sun's "10 Artists to Watch in 2026”. The band was also named Roots Music Canada's "New Discovery of the Year”. Thursday June 11.
