"Meet Columbus Band Honey and Blue"

How did Honey and Blue start?

Adam Darling: We first met on a fateful day in Los Angeles six years ago. The sun was shining and as I began my shift as a bouncer at a local bar, in walks a bright-eyed waitress preparing for her first shift. We immediately hit it off and began writing songs that same week. The rest, as they say, is history.

What’s the story behind your band name?

Stephanie Amber: As ridiculous as this sounds, we went into our first gig together with no band name. Shortly after our set finished, a friend of ours described my voice as honey ice cream on a hot summer day. It sort of made sense and with Adam’s bluesy and soulful background, the name sort of created itself. I guess this settles once and for all who’s Honey and who’s Blue.

ow do you describe your sound?

Steph: The short answer is we are a mix of pop, soul and R&B. The longer answer is that we are lovers of so many different genres and artists, and we feel really lucky to have the freedom to explore and aspire to the music we love.

Are you Columbus natives?

Adam: I was born and raised in Columbus. Steph, on the other hand, happens to be a proud New York native. As we were living in LA, we flew back to Columbus to record our first album. And upon arriving, we realized that Columbus had a thriving music scene and we wanted to be a part of it.

Are you two also life partners? If so, what’s it like being creative partners as well, and how does it impact your songwriting collaboration?

Steph: We proudly are both life partners and creative partners. Sharing life and work has its complicated moments, but it is such a blessing to share and grow together in so many ways we are both passionate about. Being in the same house lends itself to lots of different creative ideas and also allows for an openness and realness that is needed for honest songwriting. - WOSU
