who we are
Honest, vulnerable lyricism and a sultry sound come together with heart-bending harmonies and electric group chemistry. Burlington, Vermont based and heart bound, the group formed around Hannah Hausman’s (she/her) original music and plays regularly in the Burlington and New England area. Cleo Flemming (she/her) joined the group in late 2018 adding vocal harmonies, cello, and electric bass. Danica Cunningham (she/her) began playing with the group in late 2019 and graces the others with vocal harmonies, fiddle, and banjo. While the group plays full sets as a trio, they regularly play with Zach Santarsiero (he/him) on Drums, and Braden Lalancette (he/him) on Bass.

Seven Days, Vermont
It's one thing to dream up a cool idea — we all have those. I wanted to start a speed metal Grateful Dead cover band called Hateful Shred just to prank some Deadheads at an open mic. Did I do it? No. Why? Because it would take work! (Also, I was assured by an assortment of Deadheads that they would likely enjoy such a spectacle.)
But Burlington folk trio Honey & Soul put in the effort and made their dream a reality. Back in 2019, songwriter and guitarist Hannah Hausman, cellist and bassist Cleo Flemming, and fiddle and banjo player Danica Cunningham spent some time in a yurt, where they decided to write down their biggest dreams as a band.
"We had a big board up on the wall, and we started writing all the things we wanted to achieve together," Cunningham explained as she and her bandmates sat across the table from me at a Burlington bar…

With the instrumental makeup of the act, you’d be right to expect folk from Honey & Soul’s sound. Yet, there’s more to it, with elements of classic rock and blues in their sound. What really captured me most about Tower, though, is its lyrics. Rich with substantial emotion and sentiments, its story of empowerment is beautifully realised through metaphor and imagery…

An interesting surprise came earlier this year brought to you by Honey & Soul, a band based out of Vermont bringing harmony music to their latest release entitled “Tower”. A song with honest lyrics conveying the feeling of love becomes a strength as a deep power. Through the song "Tower", there is a very sweet harmony from the slick musical equivalent, the instruments that maintain their smoothness playing cello and violin arrangements which of course bring a comfortable atmosphere accompanying beautiful continuous vocals together conveying strong messages that we may often miss to pay attention to. There's a delicate balance that feels good to Honey & Soul's latest single, and one we'll always be able to appreciate.
