Mountain music from the Grand River Valley: Onion Honey is a 4-piece old-time string band that plays a mix of traditional and original folk music as well as classic country and bluegrass covers. The band typically plays into one mic "bluegrass style" - low maintenance, dynamic performance, great sound - but can accommodate all kinds of setups and sound requirements from entirely acoustic to fully plugged in. 10 years' experience playing weddings, festivals, farmers' markets, birthday parties, fundraisers, restaurants large and small, and much more. Send us your ideas!
Great group for listening and dancing too. Really enjoyed the show

Onion Honey is a four-piece folk band, with the capability to play as a duo or quartet. We play a mix of traditional and original folk songs, ranging from the full hoedown experience to more mellow background music, and can customize our setlist to suit an event as needed.
Onion Honey makes folk music, sharp and sweet and mixed in with banjo and mandolin, washboard and double bass and warm four-part harmonies. It’s a recipe for a great time and good for what ails, home-cooked comfort food for the ears.
Dave Pike, Esther Wheaton, Leanne Swantko and Kayleigh LeBlanc play new-time traditionals, old-time originals, and all-time favourites: mountain music filtered through the Grand River Valley. They have performed in dim saloons and sunny cafés, folk festivals and country weddings, small-town castles and downtown galleries, fancy hat shops and antique train cars - and once for an audience made entirely of librarians.
Onion Honey is a four-piece band, with the capability to trim down to a duo. We can play acoustically in a smaller intimate venue, or we can play amplified as necessary.
We typically play huddled around one condenser microphone, so our tech needs are low, and we can usually bring our own sound equipment if needed. We can plug in and use individual mics if the venue needs it; just ask us for a stage map.
