Hailing from Miami Beach, FL, 24 Year Old Rachel Goodrich has been playing music and writing songs since age 12.

She explores a variety of sounds,playing everything from the guitar to the ukulele, piano, kazoo, banjo, and autoharp.

Creating this unique and exciting style, Rachel draws on some of her influences which include Joni Mitchell, The Grateful Dead, Tiny Tim, Dr. Seuss, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Bob Dylan & The Band, and so many more.

With an eclectic live show featuring a growing collection of band members and toys, Rachel has carved out her own genre she calls “shake-a-billy.”

Honeybear croons tales of love, lust, and murder with his 6-string ukulele, electronics, and guitar. He has been described as having a “penchant for genre-hopping, alternating between fragile folk songs that he played on his ukulele and more experimental sounds that were more Jandek than Beck”, and as being "directly tied to an old time history of song, yet simultaneously new and unique."


“Honeybear possessed a sound unlike anything else I heard at folk fest. Honeybear could soothe even the most ferocious beast to sleep with his beautifully eerie melodies. I cannot express how strongly I feel that everyone listen to his album”

"...a song by Honeybear, the name used by tonight's ukulele handler, which is a hushed affair until around two thirds of the way through when an enormous voice erupts from deep within him."

"Calgary’s absurdly fresh-faced Honeybear follows, one young Canadian adeptly and drolly delivering a succession of self-accompanied murder ballads, neatly restraining his obviously resonant voice until the crucial climax of each song."
