With the coastline of Southern Rhode Island as a formative backdrop, Smug Honey has been writing original music since 2018. Having met at a local high school, the band includes guitarist Luca Simeone, keyboardist Kyle Takata, bassist George Richter and drummer Sam McCarthy. They graduated from open mics and talent shows and began loading into various venues around the Ocean State, bringing passion and energy into the live performance sphere. Their music is brought to life with three lead vocalists, as well as trumpet and saxophone performances from Simeone and Takata. Featuring danceable grooves, intimate ballads and complex compositions, their unique catalogue of original music has created a multi-generational audience in their home state. After releasing their debut EP “Bonds” in early 2020, the group turned to grammy nominated recording engineer Andrew Oedel to record their debut album set to be released in summer of 2022.
