Mainstays of the Bay Area Americana scene for nearly a decade, Nashville Honeymoon has traversed country, rockabilly, bluegrass, and pop across four albums, writing songs that uplift the tangled mess of day-to-day life and investigate universal themes of love and loss – often at the same time. Their latest album, Sidewinder, is true to its title, offering a collection of songs that are grounded in classic country while edging into different sounds, genres, and themes that run through American pop music.

Born in Berkeley and nurtured in live music venues on both sides of the Bay, Nashville Honeymoon is a honkytonk band that plays free-spirited, open-hearted California country & Americana music. Led by songwriting duo Hank Maninger & Lynne Maes, along with bandmates Leor Beary, Tim Wagar, and frequent collaborator Joe Goldmark, you’ll find Nashville Honeymoon on stages all over northern California, from the iconic Ivy Room in the East Bay to Santa Cruz’s legendary Moe’s Alley. You can keep up with them at their residencies at The Riptide (San Francisco), and frequent appearances at neighborhood honky-tonks, such as Little Hill Lounge (El Cerrito).
