The Honey Badgers (Aus)

A band forged in Adelaide Australia; The Honey Badgers feature an incredible line up playing mainly original music that makes people feel good. Rooted in the blues with sprinkles of soul and funk, this band made the top six at the International Blues Challenge in the USA in 2023.
The debut album, Shakin’ was recorded over a three year period and showcases the band’s development from SA southern vales favourites to an international level powerhouse that wowed the judges in the home of Stax Records, Sun Studios and the hallowed ground of the Beale Street clubs.

Progressing all the way to the Grand Finale at the Orpheum Theatre, this band did what only one other Australian band in the history of the IBC challenge, the legendary “Collard, Greens and Gravy” from Melbourne, had achieved.
