Honey & The Bear - The Milton Rooms

Honey and The Bear are UK Folk and Roots multi-instrumentalists Lucy and Jon Hart. Formed in 2014, the duo have gone from strength to strength, releasing three critically acclaimed albums and gathering an enthusiastic following of loyal fans.

Recently shortlisted for the FATEA Band/Duo of the Year (2023), their live performances are full of variation, from emotive and dramatic full-bodied ballads, to rip-roaring tales of adventure on the seas. Weaving stories into song, with a strong focus on their Suffolk roots, community and family, they are able to bring a tear to your eye in one moment, and in the next, have you up on your feet.

Born and raised in Suffolk, Lucy learned violin and drums at school, sung in the Suffolk Jubilee choir and started songwriting at 15. She taught herself guitar whilst at university in Canterbury and began performing her creations not long afterwards, releasing her debut band album ’Step Right On’ at 27.

Jon, a Yorkshire boy, raised in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, has been performing his own songs since his teens. A self-taught guitarist, his love of driving guitar riffs is a core aspect of his song writing process.
