August 7: Honeybutter

Honeybutter, hailing from Minneapolis, is a trio consisting of Zak Khan, Clara Wicklund, and Andreas Fenner. Their music blends warmth with an eerie edge, reminiscent of dreams woven on Minnesota’s coldest nights. Drawing from influences like Little Dragon and Ryuichi Sakamoto, they defy genre boundaries with a sound that’s both familiar and hauntingly strange. Having graced stages like the Dakota and First Avenue, they were named Best New Band by First Avenue in 2021. Honeybutter recently shared the spotlight with Rodrigo y Gabriela on their 2023 tour. Joined by drummer Richard Haneman and bassist Trevor Peterson for live performances, Honeybutter’s allure lies in their captivating sonic experimentation.
