Honkytonk Express with The Local Honeys at Velvet Elk Lounge

Honkytonk Express with The Local Honeys are coming to Velvet Elk Lounge on March 22nd. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show kicks off at 8:00 PM, all for $18 (fees included).

The Honkytonk Express is a Denver based country band led by Eric Benny Bloom (Lettuce) & Taylor Scott. They ride the line of that traditional outlaw country sound but add in touches of blues, funk & soul. In the 3 short years they have been together, they have developed a fresh sound which has been a welcomed addition to the Denver country scene. What also makes them unique, is Eric Benny Bloom’s fiery trumpet solos and Taylor Scott’s ripping guitar playing. The Honkytonk Express is a band that brings you back to the old days when country music was about the simple things in life and everything wasn’t so serious. They love to have FUN and it is ALWAYS a good time. 

Though many artists are defined by place, only a handful of artists come to define the places they’re from. The Local Honeys are Kentucky and Kentucky runs through their veins like an unbridled racehorse. When a master songsmith like Tom T Hall calls an artist “a great credit to a wonderful Kentucky tradition” it’s time to pull up a chair and pay attention. As it pertains to The Local Honeys he was right on the money. For almost a decade the duo (Montana Hobbs and Linda Jean Stokley) have been an integral part of the Kentucky musicscape.
