“"The Wimberley Parks and Recreation Department is proud to have partnered with the Hill Country Honeys on numerous occasions. Their performances at events such as the Wimberley Strong Memorial Concert, NYE Ball Drop, Star Party, and Concerts in the Park have helped bring our community together through their exceptional talent and engaging energy. The Hill Country Honeys consistently draw enthusiastic crowds and enhance the overall experience of our events. We are grateful for their contributions to our community and the role they have played in the success of our programs and special events."” - Rachel Littleton

“Live music is good for the soul, and music festivals close or far, offer a therapy all their own. While international touring acts can make festival lineups exciting, they can also stretch budgets, making talented, affordable, and original local artists essential to a well-rounded bill. In Central Texas, we are extremely fortunate to have a thriving local music scene, of which the Hill Country Honeys have quickly become part of. This independent band of women blend artistry, instrumental chops, and resonant harmonies into a sound that is distinctly their own. Catch them whenever and wherever you can! ” - Jeff Gavin
