press release: Jodi Jean Amble made a major splash in the Chicago scene fronting her eponymous band—nominally jazz, but equally at home with, pop, country, Latin, folk and more—and as a member of the highly eclectic ensemble Jenny Dragon. Green Bay native Tom Waselchuk leads the MAMA Award-winning Americana band The Dang-Its and has performed for more than twenty years in a free-swinging jazz guitar duo with multi-instrumentalist Doug Brown. Brown has long been among the most in-demand freelance sidemen on the Madison music scene in a variety of genres, as well as being a band-leader, composer, and arranger. Matt Rodgers is among southern Wisconsin’s busiest bass players, equally at home in most any style of music. Together they display a formidable range of musical backgrounds and notable depth of experience, and apply crystal vocal harmonies and virtuoso instrumental skills to the best of traditional, contemporary, and original Americana music.

“The four members of The Honey Pies are all terrific musicians in their own right, but together their musicality shoots to new heights.  The sound is free-spirited but amazingly focused and precise. And what a range of styles!  This is not your typical three-chord country-folk band!” — Nancy Cullen, Rural Musicians Forum, Touchstone Theatre

“The Honey Pies have already been dubbed a fan favorite by our patrons.  Although their covers are beautifully performed, where they truly shine is with their original music. The lyrics are catchy and engaging, the musicians are some of Madison's finest, and the stage banter is adorable.  A truly well-rounded show, The Honey Pies can make a small, intimate concert space come alive as well as fill a large performing arts center with their non-stop energy.” — Lindsey Giese, River Arts Center, Prairie du Sac
