The Honeycutters are, at the heart, the artistic collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and Lead Guitarist/ Producer Peter James. Platt and James produce a refreshingly unique blend of Americana music that is comfortingly familiar while being entirely original. Whether performing as an acoustic duo or a full fledged Honky-Tonk five piece, The Honeycutters leave smiles on the faces of the ears that they catch. In a world that is becoming increasingly digitalized and impersonal, the Honeycutters are building a reputation based on live performance and songs that tend to stick with you. They are excited to annouce the release of their second album, "When Bitter Met Sweet". Their first full length studio release "Irene" (May '09) landed them in Iaan Hughes' (No Depression Podcast) top twenty of 2009, as well as number 32 in WNCW's listener voted top 100. Singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt has been hailed as "one of the best songwriters coming out of WNC these days" by WNCW programming director Martin Anderson, and her voice has been described as "perfectly unadorned" and "recklessly beautiful". Lead guitarist and Producer Peter James compliments Platt's vocals with seamless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. Tal Taylor on mandolin, Ian Harrod on bass, and Jon Ashley on the drums effortlessly round out the Honeycutters sound, creating an original brand of americana that has proved equally appealing to both the musician and the music lover, the country and the city, and the old and the young.
