Steve, Stan, Jane and Rebecca The New Holland Honey Eaters (Stan & Rebecca from Launceston and Steve & Jane from Cygnet) was formed in 1988 and specialises in traditional music from the south eastern United States – their repertoire includes Anglo-Celtic and Afro-American traditional music, minstrelsy, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley tunes and songs, rural hymnody, Cajun music, gospel, jug band music, faux-Hawaiian music, cowboy music, western swing and blues. Calling themselves ‘the string band behind the times’, they bring the folk music and folkways of the American southeast alive through performance.
