Threadbare by Honey Don't
Good Lord, where to start? We want to thank Central Oregon Creative Artists Relief Effort presented by The Bulletin and Scalehouse for a generous grant we received as a result of the COVID shutdown. Those funds went to the CD. We owe so much thanks to so many folks and even though this trove of tunes has a lot of Colorado in them –we’ve made many friends and fans and worked with so many great folks in Bend and Central Oregon and again so many folks from our time in Colorado it’s overwhelming to try to list everyone- though it is fun to think of it all! We always have thanks for all the amazing community radio stations and DJs locally, nationally and even internationally. KPOV here in Bend is a treasure and we encourage everyone to support Community radio. That’s where you’ll hear us more than anywhere else and of course our long time station in Paonia, Colorado KVNF. Thanks to Jason Chinchen for the Tin Type session (which was a total blast) and graphic work. Jason is one of the most talented people we know. We owe a special thanks to Keith Banning for his skills and tireless efforts on this record, thanks to friends, family, and promoters for everything they have done to help us get to this milestone of making our third full length studio album! We’re thrilled to release it to the world.

Shelley sings and plays upright bass. this is the core of HD but like their previous two albums they are joined by some great players. The new record features fiddle, dobro and snare- we just call it
