Having firmly established themselves within the inner circle of Nashville’s elite, UK band Honey Ryder return to spearhead the British country crossover invasion with their third studio album, ‘Born In A Bottle’, which has been nominated for UK Album of the Year at the BCMAs. The band have received a further two nominations for UK Single of the Year (Born In A Bottle) and Group of the Year.
Honey Ryder have already kicked off a busy festival season of touring with two performances at C2C at the O2 in March, followed by the Isle Of Wight Festival in June. Following this, they will be appearing at Weyfest and Fort San Antone Festival later it the year.
‘Drink With Me’ is the first single from the album. “We wanted to write a summery feel good song about hanging out with friends and partying, inspired by the bright lights of Downtown Nashville”, explains lead singer Lindsay O’Mahony. “We had just come back to our hotel after a fantastic night at a bar called Pucketts, where we feasted on deep fried green beans and drank beer out of jam jars, and felt inspired to write, so we started jamming and within a few hours the song was pretty much finished. We then recorded it a few days later over at Ocean Way“.
Honey Ryder sophomore album ‘Marley’s Chains’ was a big hit on Radio 2 and achieved album of the weeks on the likes of Smooth Radio and Music Week. With hits such as ‘Fly Away’ and ‘Marley Chains’ the album received huge support all over the world, and ‘Born In A Bottle’ is sure to share the same success.
