The Honey Badgers - Folk Duo Acoustic Band from Newark, DE

The Honey Badgers are a contemporary folk duo bringing their distinctive harmonies and sincere Americana sound to stages across the east coast. Weaving their voices together with Michael’s driving guitar and Erin’s wistful violin, the duo spins stories and songs about finding yourself, finding each other, and finding your way in the world. Available to play a wide range of events including wedding ceremonies, cocktails, and receptions, corporate events, private parties, and more. What you can expect: We play a mix of modern and classic acoustic covers, with the option to mix in our own original music. We create unique set lists based on what your event requires. For wedding ceremonies, we offer the option of violin + guitar instrumental arrangements of cover songs for a sweet, modern instrumental sound that we think sets a beautiful tone for weddings. We like to communicate effectively and nail down details as early as possible so that expectations can be met. Given enough time, we are always willing to learn a few new cover songs that you request for your event. We have invested in the pro level audio gear that life on the road demands. We show up early, have very few requirements, and always make sure to start our performances on time. Experience: Since 2011, The Honey Badgers have performed together hundreds of times at a large variety of venues: festivals, weddings, breweries, schools, farmers markets, corporate/fundraiser events, glass blowing factories, wineries, grocery stores, coffee shops, baby showers, and anywhere else you can imagine.
