PASS ME BY…

HONEY MADE (below) is a hard-gigging, Austin based band who’ve made quite a name  for themselves in and around the Lone Star State. The collective includes Willie Barnes, Vocals; Donald Ford Jr., vocals; Brian Cokeley, Keys; Lee Braverman, Bass; Chris Barnes, Drums & Vocals; Mark Saldana, Percussion; Dustin Hunter, Tenor Saxophone & Baritone Saxophone; Joseph Marrow, Trumpet & Flugelhorn; and Donald McDaniel, Trombone and their mission statement is, they say,  to deliver tough soul and funk in the manner of James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings and Prince.

Thus, their new single is a little surprising – it’s a soulful, sensual, old school ballad ‘Pass me By’. The band’s people tell us that the song is about appreciating the one you love no matter what stage you are in your relationship.  From the beginning until the end, you should never let too many moments pass by without letting them know how beautiful they are. Sonically the track’s roots are in 60’s Southern soul with brass fills, a biting guitar solo and passionate vocals. Release date is November 8th.
