The multi-talented lineup all sing harmony, write songs, and pass around banjo, guitar, mandolin, and double bass in performance &#8211; and three years of weekly \u2018Banjo Church\u2019 livecasts polished their onstage rapport to a high shine.<\/p>\n<p>The band released\u00a0<em>Foul Weather Friends\u00a0<\/em>in May 2023, their first professional studio album after over a decade of self-produced music. Recorded live off the floor and engineered by Andy Magoffin at his House of Miracles, Roots Music Canada praised the album\u2019s \u201cout-of-this-world harmonies and sweet, tart, string-band sound\u201d and the band\u2019s \u201ccatchy-as-hell little ditties that could easily pass for traditional\u201d. The record earned them a nomination at the 2025 CFMAs for Contemporary Vocalist of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Onion Honey has been heard on radio stations across Canada, showcased at Folk Music Ontario in 2023, and performed at a number of festivals including Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Springtide Festival in Uxbridge, Winterfolk in Toronto, River Valley Bluegrass Festival, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Start Time:<\/strong> 7:30 PM<\/p>\n<p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $20 donation + an item for the Wawa Community Food Bank<\/p>\n<p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> 10 Government Dock Road<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"d28\" class=\"mceText\" data-block-id=\"28\">\n<p><strong>Upcoming Concerts this season:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"last-child\">Aug 26: Claire Ness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Onion Honey may hail from Ontario\u2019s tech capital, but musicians Dave Pike, Esther Wheaton, Leanne Swantko, and Kayleigh LeBlanc play folk music like an old-fashioned string band.
