The Honeysliders Long Bio
An all-star cast of Winnipeg’s music scene mvps, the Honeysliders are the ultimate house band. Whether it’s dirt-road country growls, angst-ridden back-porch blues, whiskey-soaked party-rock or just honest prairie vocals, The Honeysliders will deliver.
Founding members, Jamie Buckboro(lead vocals/guitar/percussion) and Micah Bell(bass guitar/vocals) together with master keyboardist, Alex Campballse(keyboard/Whurlitzer/harmonica/vocals), multi-talented Winnipeg drummer, Jesse Millar(percussion/guitar/vocals), and local guitar icon, Chris ‘Chopper’ Carmichael (guitar/vocals/percussion), The Honeysliders have branded an undeniably kinetic sound.
Thriving on the challenge of tributes to their music heroes – CSNY, The Band, Neil Young, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones – and Canadian contemporaries – Sloan, Terra Lightfoot, The Sheepdogs – their performances teleport to a time when live bootlegs and curated albums ruled turntables and airwaves.
Born from these eclectic influences, their original songs elevate them above mere cover-band status and threaten to rattle the rafters with shout-along anthemic camaraderie. The Honeysliders are currently compiling material for their first full-length album release…
So put an arm around your partner-in-crime and raise a cup to hometown pride because any member of this band can step forward and break your heart or blow your mind.
