History

Honeytribe was formed by Devon Allman in 1999.[3] In 2001, the band broke up so Allman could spend time with his newly born son.[3] They reformed in 2005 and started Honeytribe's path as a career: making records and touring.[3] They have toured throughout North America and Europe[4]

Origin of Band Name

The name of the band is attributed to former member Marko (Mark Oyarzabal). According to Devon, one day the two of them were driving, and trying to think of names. They discussed how their dynamic sound could be super smooth and delicate, and also big, bad and fierce, and that they needed a name to reflect that dichotomy. Marko's first idea was "Honeytribe?", and Devon agreed with "Yeah! Sweet like honey, fierce like a tribe, it's perfect!"[5]

In 2006, the band released their debut album, Torch,[6] to favorable reviews.[7][8][9][10] The album was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.[11]
