Americana with classic country flair, Christa Joy and the Honeybees hail from Easthampton, MA. The group includes Lisa Marie Ellingsen (lead guitar), Tim Bowles (pedal steel), Jason Smith (drums) and Tom LeBeau (bass). The songwriter’s fourth full length collection released in 2024, self-titled with her touring band, Christa Joy and the Honeybees. This release paints a versatile picture of the group’s talents—ranging from kitschy humorous gems like “God Gave Me Two Babies” and “Omens,” to emotional ballads like “Time and Luck” and the sparser indie flavor of “Again and Again.” Also included on the project, Producer Grant Wicks arranged a countrified cover of Pixies “Here Comes Your Man,” a shout out to local hero Black Francis.
