July 18 – Easy Honey
Easy Honey’s witty melodies, dotted with catchy hooks, serve as anthems of nostalgia for their indie rock audiences. The group infuses its singer-songwriter folk roots with an original blend of East Coast surf-rock, catalyzed by the band’s relocation to the up-and-coming Charleston, SC music scene.
