Nellie Wilson and The Hellbound Honeys

This band is a rare gem!!  All the way from Madison, WI, Nellie Wilson and The Hellbound Honeys formed in 2009.  They played their first show in 2010, and recorded their first album in 2011!  Their band bio is a very fun read, so of course, I recommend you check it out!

"Wilson's not just a vulgar vocalist, she's a smutty sage."  - Jessica Steinhoff of thedailypage.com

Featuring a sound that is classic country, and what I feel is made for The Bluebird Cafe, Nellie and her honeys remind me of another band I really dig, Delta Rae.  Promoting two albums, "Live at the Lobo Lounge" and "Taking the 'O' Out of Country", the band plays shows regularly with several other big bands in their genre!!  They are currently working on their 3rd album, which should come out within the next month or so!

Their writing influences range from art music to classic country to metal.  Nellie is a classically trained musician with degrees to back it up!  She is also very comfortable in her own skin, and has no shame in bringing something to the table like you've never heard.  It's very common to hear male led bands do a smut song, but rare to find a female willing to be so vulgar.  Not many women would be so bold as to sing something called "This Pussy Ain't Gonna Lick Itself".  I love the "balls" this woman has!

If you want a really fun, and wildly entertaining playlist, add this band to it guys!  Follow the links and check out what they've got going on!
