The band was conceived in February 2003, consisting of
Matthew Landry on vocals, Steve
Vincent on bass,
Daniel Davidson and
Tyler Dianocky on
guitars, and
Greg Williamson on drums. Within months of its conception,
the band was packing local clubs and opening for the “who’s-who” of
Canadian rock before having a single recording under their belts. With Landry’s powerful
yet angelic voice, the
sonic interplay of the guitarists, and the dynamic precision of the
rhythm section,
Tupelo Honey stands out as
fresh new sound in
the rock world. Much has transpired in a year for the
band. Represented by Dirtnap Productions, the band and its management have been
hard at work shaping their
future and are very proud to be part of world-class booking
agency The
Agency Group.
Tupelo Honey has graced
the stage with many of today’s finest rock
acts, including
Thornley, Three
Days Grace, Default, The Trews,
Vince Neil,
Billy Talent,
Finger 11,
The Tea Party, Wide Mouth
Mason, Stabilo, High Holy Days, and many more. Where most opening acts do
nothing more then serve as an
ideal time for the audience to purchase liquor or visit the latrine, Tupelo Honey consistently captivate their audiences and
force them to
remember the
name of the band that
just blew them away. As a headliner Tupelo Honey has played all the major rock venues in their
hometown of
Edmonton,
Alberta as well as performing
live on A-Channel. The much anticipated debut release came in the form of a 6 song EP.
The tracks were re-recorded by
Phil Anderson, mixed by
Graham Brewer and finally mastered by Nick Blagona at Metalwork’s Studios in
Toronto. Final production
made for a late 2004 release, much to the
satisfaction of countless fans that fill the band’s e-mail account with requests for an album. Recently “Why I Bother” has become a bonafide single, and is getting regular rotation on 100.3 FM The
Bear in Edmonton, and 106.1 FM
The Goat in Lloydminster. Both
stations are receiving numerous requests daily for, “That Tupelo Honey band that blew me away last night” or for “That song “Why I Bother” song that had me instantly singing
along.”
Influenced by everything yet sounding like nothing else, Tupelo Honey is a new and powerful voice in the
music world. The interest in this band grows bigger
everyday and everyone wants to know who this band is that has come
out of nowhere to become the new buzz band of
Canada. Tupelo Honey is that
one band you can't afford to miss.
