### Honey and Hustle: A Sonic Experience of R&B and Blues Rock
Honey and Hustle is a powerhouse ensemble that masterfully blends the soul-stirring elements of R&B with the gritty edge of blues rock, performing original music that captivates audiences. Led by songwriter/guitarist Sam Kaufmann, and the electrifying lead vocalist Kat Snapp, the band crafts a sound that is both timeless and refreshingly innovative.
The lineup features a rich tapestry of professional talent, filling out their sound with keyboards, trumpet, saxophone, bass, drums, and live background singers contributing to the band’s signature style. Drawing inspiration from musical legends like Steve Winwood, Tedeschi Trucks, Chicago and Amy Winehouse, Honey and Hustle delivers performances that are both deeply soulful and irresistibly energetic.

Their shared passion for good songwriting, vintage sounds and keeping an audience’s attention laid the foundation for what would become Honey and Hustle. A unique origin that adds a layer of depth and authenticity to their music, resonating with concertgoers on a profound plane.

Their warm, familiar sound and strong live shows have already garnered attention and praise, including high accolades from Music Reviewer Evangeline West, who lauded “Honey and Hustle have hit the high mark… bringing a vintage sound to the new generation” and College Radio Charts said “…few bands manage to carve out a sound that feels both refreshingly innovative and timelessly classic.
