The Honey Larks

Meet The Honey Larks. Roots music with fabulous vocal harmonies and unfiltered girl hang conversation between tunes.

In 2020, despite the lock down that took away so many live concert experiences, three best friends came together to share their love of blues music. What was intended to be a fun, one-off show turned into a female super-group with immediate fans requesting more performances.

Shows are designed to be a safe space for all music lovers, celebrate blues history and LGBT artists, and inspire viewers. Featuring Carly Harvey (DC's Queen of the Blues), Jenny Langer (Blues Hall of Fame), and Holly Montgomery (Grammy-Nominated).

Based out of Washington, DC, Carly Harvey combines Blues, Jazz, Soul, & Americana roots styles to create a unique sound that calls to mind Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Nina Simone, with a little Ella Fitzgerald thrown in for good measure. In July 2018, Ms. Harvey was featured in Big City Blues Magazine as one of the youngest Blues artists to watch.

Carly is a two-time DC Blues society Battle of the bands winner (duo 2016, band 2018) and was proclaimed DC's Queen of the Blues in 2016 by Dr. Nick Johnson of WPFW Radio. Carly's band represented DC in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2019 and advanced to the Semi-finals.
