Longtime resident Holly McGarry returns to North
Idaho with her Boston band, Honeysuckle, on
Friday, September 8, at the Pearl Theater, 7160
Ash Street, Bonners Ferry.
Their “Idahome” tour offers music lovers a rare,
intimate venue to hear the trio’s “homespun
folk” act as they tour the country from coast to
coast. Doug Bond returns as their opening act,
and the doors open at 6 p.m.
Honeysuckle, comprised of Holly McGarry,
Benjamin Burns and Chris “Gooch” Bionarz,
combines older instrumentation with modern
effects and instrumentation. McGarry, who
attends Berklee College of Music, has performed
since the age of 13. She says her influences
include The Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Harold’s
IGA (hey … we know that place!), alongside
several of The Pearl’s recent acts, including
John Craigie and the Shook Twins.
Honeysuckle headlines in the Northeast, playing
alongside bands such as The Ballroom Thieves,
The David Grisman Sextet, Boy & Bear, The Novel
Ideas, Grey Season and Honeyfoot. They earned
the title of Converse Rubber Tracks Artist in
2015. In 2016, they played Lollapalooza and CMJ
in New York City.
New nominations include Red Line Roots’ 2016 Big
Reds, Best Folk Act of the Year, Best Album, and
Best Americana/Roots Artist of the Year at the
annual Boston Music Awards.
As a recipient of Club Passim’s Iguana Music
Grant, Honeysuckle recently released a new
full-length album to a sold-out crowd. Also
available is their debut EP, “Arrows,” released
in 2015.
