NEW ORLEANS–Following the success of Wishing Well, winner of OffBeatMagazine’saward for Best Blues Album 2009, the Honey Island Swamp Band returns with Good To You, their much-anticipated sophomore release.
Over a summer highlighted by performances at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival , the Chenango Blues Festival in Norwich, NY; the White Mountain Boogie and Blues Fest in Thornton, NH; and the Federal Hill Jazz and Blues Festival in Baltimore, MD, the band has brought their infectious blend of roots-rock, Americana and funky blues to music lovers far and wide. The album became the number four top seller at Louisiana Music Factory during the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, launching a full-scale national release that continues with the Roots n Blues Festival in Columbia, MO, the first annual De Luna Fest in Pensacola, FL, and the Bear Creek Music Festival in Suwannee, FL this fall.
The album is already gaining momentum with steady airplay on East, West and Gulf Coasts, and if early reviews are any indication, Good To You looks to be the album that will establish Honey Island Swamp Band as the next major act to explode out of New Orleans.
“This band of New Orleans musicians, who formed in the San Francisco Bay area while riding out Katrina, return with their strongest effort to date,” Erik Deatherage, DJ at WTMD Baltimore, says. “Check out the best dueling guitar lick since Wilco's ‘Impossible Germany’ on the scorching opener ‘Chocolate Cake’.”

Named after a very real swamp that lies near the border of Louisiana and Mississippi, the Honey Island Swamp Band is aptly named, with a roots sound that incorporates the best of both states, a swampy mix of blues, soul, country, R&B, and the New Orleans rhythms of the group's hometown. The band didn't come together in New Orleans, though, but formed instead in San Francisco, where Aaron Wilkinson (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Chris Mule (guitar, vocals), Sam Price (bass, vocals), and Garland Paul (drums, vocals) were all evacuees from New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The band relocated back to New Orleans in 2007, adding Trevor Brooks on the Hammond B-3 organ in 2010. Dubbed "bayou Americana," the band released a self-titled, seven-song EP, Honey Island Swamp Band, in 2008, following it with a full-length album, Wishing Well, a year later in 2009. Good to You appeared in 2010, with Cane Sugar arriving in 2013.
