The Boys
Dan Newitt ~ (Vocals, Guitars, Dobro)
• From his countless solo performances to ensemble work ranging in genre from Bluegrass to Punk (including the requisite lengthy list of Rock bands), Dan’s performing experience is broad and extensive. His powerful voice and transcendent guitar work are the cornerstone of the Honey sound and structure. Expertly composing many of our original songs, heavily influencing all the others, his passion is contagious.
David Barrow ~ (Vocals, Guitars, Ukulele)• Singer, songwriter and free-wheeling lyricist, David’s raw energy and gifted guitar playing bring a vibrant playful energy to the mix. Bay Area born and bred, his music is primarily influenced by classic rock, in that exclusively San Francisco way. Listen carefully, as his lyrics can change with each show and mood!
Greg Lauer ~ (Vocals, Mandolins)• Electrical Engineer by day, unstoppable musician by night, Greg’s mathematical brain solves the rhythm and groove equation. Primarily influenced by bluegrass and psychedelic-rock bands, Greg is the perfect mandolin player for this improv-rock-jamband.
Kevin Kelsey ~ (Basses)• First on stage at the age of 13, Kevin can hardly remember a time before he was a bass player. Originally immersed in Jazz and Gospel, bored with his subsequent Rock and Roll phase, Kevin had mostly been playing in more creative bands, exploring new genres, and following the Grateful Dead. He founded Pathetic Honey with David and Greg circa 1995.
Brian Sagrafena ~ (Drums, Percussion)• Brian’s excellent musical ear and creative mind combine with his extensive professional experience to form the consummate jamband drummer. His skill allows him to flow like a liquid while holding rhythm like a metronome. The backbone of the band, he holds strong even in the most obscure adventures of our musical exploration.
