Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears came roaring out of Austin, Texas, in 2007, with the Tucson-born Lewis hollering over a band that treats blues, funk and soul as one long, sweaty party. His heroes aren't hard to spot: there's Howlin' Wolf's growl and James Brown's whiplash rhythm all over these records, played raw, loud and a little unhinged.
By March 2009 they were being tipped as one of the bands set to break out at SXSW, and the debut, Tell 'Em What Your Name Is!, arrived that year with "Sugarfoot". Scandalous followed in 2011, led by the strutting "Booty City", and Electric Slave brought "Come To My Party" in 2013. Alongside Lewis, the Honeybears have counted Jason Frey, Derek Phelps, Bill Stevenson and Joseph Woullard in the lineup.
