Armed only with a guitar, a suitcase, and her legendary chutzpah, Amy Honey
left Halifax for Vancouver in 1996, and the West Coast hasn't been the same
since. Songwriter, bandleader, and now the proud co-proprietor of a record shop
and label, Honey has become a driving force in Vancouver's burgeoning
independent music scene.

Honey has played in a number of genre-bending bands, but it was the 1998
inception of hard-rocking three-piece locomotive Clover Honey that launched her to
indieland notoriety. Famous for their hook-drenched power pop, the group has
enjoyed three national tours, six months at the top of Canada's college radio
charts, and grabbing first prize at CITR's battle of the bands in 1999. Five
years later, Clover Honey continues to rock stages around the city to a
dedicated following.

Not content to settle with Clover Honey's success, Honey decided to explore
solo songwriting. Along the way, she has discovered new influences beyond her
hard-rocking roots. She came of age to the Ramones and the Misfits, punk and
garage music handed down to her by delinquent high-school boyfriends. It was
then that she vowed to spend her life learning guitar, seeking "good music, good
drugs, and a good party". Her party-loving ethic remains, but Honey now counts
Jonathan Richman, Bobbie Gentry, and Mahalia Jackson as inspirations.

"Let's put it this way: I've been around the block a few times musically.
Pinning my sound down to one influence is impossible."

On her self-titled debut CD, Ms. Honey unleashes a new stage persona:
seasoned front-woman, frank and sardonic songstress, and kick-ass lead guitar. Her
work has taken a mellower - but no less raunchy - turn, choosing to focus on her
lyrics and "that voice". Honey favours a conversational vocal style that is
deceptively simple, luring the audience closer before soaring with a clear,
sweet melody or wading through a tough and dirty blues arrangement. And it's all
delivered with a powerful yet off-handed charisma that has become Honey's
signature.

Amy Honey loves playing live, "I want to establish a relationship with the
audience; I want an engaged crowd, and I work for it. Each person in the room
should feel as if we've taken the party to their place, like I'm sitting on
their couch and singing directly to them. Those are the best times."
