DizRotus Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The California Honeydrops are a fantastic rhythm & blues band. The eight of us in our group heartily agreed it was the best live show we’d ever seen. The tickets were $25; a tremendous bargain. If they are playing anywhere close to you, go see and hear them. You will not be disappointed. Mods. Please move this to the appropriate forum. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_California_Honeydrops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Bump. https://cahoneydrops.com/ Eight of us septuagenarians, who have seen many live bands in our time, agreed this group put on the best live music performance we’ve ever seen. If they’re nearby, you owe it to yourself to see and hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I did but first time it wasn't there. Too bad it's at Delfest. I'll pass. A real cluster that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 I was afraid the “festival” might be a problem. They play all over the country. I believe DC is a frequent stop. Keep looking. The next time they’re within a two hour drive, I’ll do my best to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Originally I tried to organize a gathering of old college friends (redundant) to see The Mavericks at the Royal Oak Theater in April, but tickets were over $400 each. When a knowledgeable old girlfriend (again redundant) recommended TCH as a favorite live band, I bought six tickets at $25 each. Despite my strong confidence in my friend’s musical taste and opinions, I was nervous about organizing a group outing to hear a “bargain” band none of us had heard of. A fourth couple got a pair of tickets before it was sold out. The warmup-band was very good, so I felt some relief. When TCH took the stage, my concerns vanished. While the room was rocking, one of our group gave me an enthusiastic thumbs up with a huge grin on her face. Thanks Bruce @Marvel for posting the YouTube video. TCH is more a party than a concert.

MookieStl Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Great find @DizRotus. I had not heard of them. Very nice. Break out your "old" friends and go on a road trip to Denver. Saw they were playing Red Rocks next year. My kids took me there earlier this year as a "bucket list" gift. Well worth it. The acoustics would be great for this party band. Wear your hiking shoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 When is the last time you heard a trombone solo @tromprof? TCH had one, and the guy nailed it. Do you get a sense that I strongly recommended this band? I felt so guilty about those $25 tickets I downloaded a couple albums from TCH website.

As a professional trombonist I hear trombone solos all the time 😜 However, it is nice seeing a band use a horn section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
