A BAND CALLED HONALEE
brings together three gifted young artists
whose passion and enthusiasm for Folk music sparks an invigorating return to the
era of Peter, Paul and Mary. Sarah, Chris and Eli offer a fresh take on this music,
enlivening it with today's version of the same youthful energy that sparked the folk
movement. Our inventive arrangements of PPM favorites honor the past, while
bringing fresh appreciation to long-time PPM fans and new audiences alike. Our
show includes songs by Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez,
Joni Mitchell, The Mamas and the Papas, The Weavers, Judy Collins, and others.
