Swirling synth pop meets traditional folk storytelling. Honeysuckle’s sixth studio release, Shadow Dance, encapsulates feelings of nostalgia, loss and hope. 

Recorded at Mad Oak Studios in Allston, MA by Benny Grotto, who also plays drums and percussion on the EP, Honeysuckle has built upon their classic sound. Mandolin and acoustic guitar, accompanied by their textbook tight harmonies, are joined on this record by synthesizer, electric bass and percussion to build a lush sound. The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two crisscross through our lives. Released October 20th, 2023, you can now find Shadow Dance wherever you listen to music.
