The Honey Pies to perform Sept. 21 at the Braumart

IRON MOUNTAIN — The Honey Pies of Madison, Wis., will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Braumart Theatre in Iron Mountain.

In September 2017, three veteran Madison musicians — vocalist Jodi Jean Amble, singer and guitarist Tom Waselchuk, and multi-instrumentalist Doug Brown — put together a set of material for a one-and-done performance at the annual Spring Green Beatlefest. Their set was enthusiastically received.

The players came away feeling the spark of a kindred musical spirit, and so began The Honey Pies. A year’s worth of performances has only confirmed each member’s initial feeling that they’d stumbled onto something special.

To mark their one-year anniversary, The Honey Pies introduced bassist and vocalist Matt Rodgers to the band. The Honey Pies apply harmonies and instrumental skills to the best of traditional, contemporary, and original Americana music.

“This is not your typical three-cord country-folk band. The four members of The Honey Pies are all terrific musicians in their own right but put together, their musicality shoots to new heights. The sound is free-spirited but amazingly focused and precise. Jodi and Tom’s voices blend so well and both have extensive vocal ranges. When Matt and Doug join in for four-part harmony, it’s just over the top. Tom and Doug’s fret work and Matt’s bass riffs are inspiring, and you just can’t help but love Jodi Jean any time she opens her mouth to sing. And what a range of styles,” said Nancy Cullen of the Rural Musicians Forum.

“Tom Waselchuk performed at the Braumart last year with his Sweet Dreams and Honky-Tonk Band. It was a wonderful evening of country music and we are excited to have him back,” said Tim Haagensen, Braumart board president.

Advance tickets for this evening of country, folk and Americana music are $20 and are available online at www.thebraumart.org and at the Braumart box office from 3 to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Tickets purchased the day of the show are $25.
