The Honey Hush were formed in September 2002 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Charles Lieurance, ex singer & songwriter for The Black Dahlias, returned from Chicago after that band imploded & hooked up with Tery Daly who’s been recording his own music for twenty years (as Starboy & Creatures of Habit). The two conjured up a musical vision that satisfied Lieurance’s need for deep, dank hoodoo and drunken country slop & Daly’s predilection for pure pop music.

The Honey Hush’s music sounds like Southern Culture on the Skids on a train through the hollows of West Virginia with a young Phil Spector as the coal porter & X working the throttle. The twangy R&B of Charlie Rich & Dan Penn gets goosed in the ass by the pop harmonies of Lieurance, Daly & and the lovely Kristen Bailey (of the all girl garage queens, Mister Baby & The Black Dahlias). Joining forces with these three are Eric Aspergren (The Trendies & The Post Trendies) on bass and Sean Moon (Blue 88, Rockgodz, and, most recently, bronco) beating on the drums.

The Honey Hush has already opened for Slobberbone, Rex Hobart& The Misery Boys, The Bangs and The Black Mollys, as well as headlining a show at the fine Chicago venue, Quenchers.

In the fall of 2002, The Honey Hush, along with 4 other Lincoln, NE bands formed a situation, a collective intent on raising the profile of the Lincoln music scene.
