The music of Asheville, North Carolina based outfit Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters is nuanced, bringing insight and wit to the stories Platt tells through songwriting. Lyrically driven, the band’s country roots music often inspires introspection, whether it be about life on the road, heartache or hope.

There is an empathetic and charming wit ingrained in Platt’s songwriting. She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and applying it to her storytelling, whether she is writing from her own experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in another person’s life.

Performing along with Platt, The Honeycutters are Matt Smith (pedal steel and electric guitars), Kevin Williams (keys/vocals), Rick Cooper (bass/vocals), and Evan Martin (drums/vocals).

The band is currently on tour supporting their seventh studio album – “The Ones That Stay” – out August 9, 2024 on Mule Kick Records.

Sam Quinn’s Cartwright Brothers: Somewhere between an endless sigh and the blurred fingers of a years-long morning, Samuel Quinn fell in love with music again. It was all around, speaking, breathing, behind clouds, in shirt pockets, exciting and regretfully inescapable. The Cartwright Brothers took shape riding the contours of this chapter of Quinn’s writing. quiet but ugly. Pretty and too loud. Honest while joking. Personal yet selfishly universal. “It is difficult to say what it is I do, but if you are into it, you might also like this,” Quinn explicates.
