GOOD FOR WHAT AILS Ya
Banjo Church!
Every Sunday at 11am
Grab your coffee and gather 'round your laptop on Sunday mornings at 11am via Facebook or YouTube and join us for about an hour of folk music! Esther, Dave, and assorted band members perform live from the living room and y'all chime in via the comments! We take requests and provide a digital chart booklet for those who want to jam along from home :)
HOMEGROWN
Brand new live-off-the-floor kidfolk album
As a thank you to everyone who has supported our music this year - by tuning in to Banjo Church, by coming to our small handful of live shows, by listening to our music - Dave, Kayleigh, and Esther recorded a 16-track album of kids' music. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Upcoming Shows
Onion Honey may hail from Ontario’s tech capital, but they make foot-stomping, toe-tapping, hoedown-ing folk music like an old-fashioned string band. Dave Pike, Esther Wheaton, Leanne Swantko, and Kayleigh LeBlanc play traditional tunes made new and original songs that sound old; like their name, Onion Honey’s music is sweet and sharp and savoury, a remedy for many ills, and a recipe for a good time. Influenced by bands like Uncle Earl, Old Crow Medicine Show, and the Foghorn Stringband, the Kitchener-based outfit brings a uniquely-Southwestern-Ontario flavour to their music.
Onion Honey has been heard on radio stations across Canada and featured in Jan Hall’s Sunparlour Sessions; their last two albums, Raisin’ Heck and Earthly Trials, charted on national campus radio in 2017 and 2019. They gig regularly around Southwestern Ontario and have performed at a number of festivals including Banjofest in Guelph, Cambridge’s Mill Race Folk Festival, Winterfolk in Toronto, Hamilton's Festival of Friends, and more.
