Honey of the Heart is competing in the High Sierra Festival Band Contest this Thursday night — and we go on FIRST, promptly at 7pm.
Will it be magical? Chaotic? Transcendent? Honestly — we have absolutely no idea. That's kind of the whole deal.
What we do know: your voices in that room and your bodies taking up space make all the difference in the world to us. A crowd doesn't just watch — it changes what's possible.
"We don't need you to be a superfan. We just need you to show up, let something move you, and maybe holler a little. The rest takes care of itself."
Come be part of something sweet and completely unpredictable.
See you Thursday.
“Diggin Deep” is hatching SOON on May 2nd. Pre-Save HERE and join us for the journey of tingly anticipation!
New Life!
We're keeping up with all the magic that is springing/landing/pouring/gathering in! ❤️

“Justin Ancheta and Maren Metke have musical nectar flowing through their veins. The dynamic Sierra foothills based duo are the driving force behind a project that is even sweeter than it sounds. Honey of the Heart is an ambrosial mix of musical interpretations influenced by folk, soul, roots and world/flamenco styles. Built upon a repertoire of uplifting original material, they join together with other phenomenal musicians to create in an organic state of symbiosis. Many of their songs come forth like ancient incantations, casting angelic spells on all in their path. Honey of the Heart weaves soaring harmonies and hypnotic polyrhythms into an alchemical semblance of groove intended for dancing, rejoicing and blissful recalibration.”

““As soon as their voice, song and music filled the air around me, I felt like I had known them for years. There’s a way that their music intertwine to create a deliciously sweet syrupy experience that matches perfectly their name: Honey of the Heart. I’ve hired them for my 10yr intimate wedding anniversary and then for a bigger underground dance event, and each time they came through with beauty, presence. I recommend them for any event where you want to fill the heart of your guests with wonder and delight!” ”
