Project Description
NEW HOLLAND HONEY EATERS
The New Holland Honey Eaters are as nimble around their strings as their namesakes around their flowers; the vibrant unity with which these two Tasmanian couples play comes from over 35 years of experience performing old-time music together. You’ll be treated to music from the broad Southern tradition, from rural string bands, minstrelsy, ballads, ragtime, shape-note hymns, to Cajun, jug bands, Jubilee and Gospel quartets, western swing, country blues and more. They set their music firmly in its social context, and whether you’re watching a concert, or one of their “on-stage documentaries”, you’re sure to leave both entertained and informed.
