About

In early 2018, Bob chose to take the more difficult road (typical of him!) and started recruiting band members to play his original songs as Honest Dark. It wasn’t easy (since the songs are untypical and span a few genres), but he found two willing co-conspirators, Steve and Julian. After a good number of rehearsals, there were two successful gigs in Brooklyn (The Well and Gold Sounds) at the beginning of 2019…and then came the Pandemic. 

Since there wasn’t anywhere to play, plans were hatched to record an album as soon as restrictions were lifted. “YES, NOW” was recorded in 2020 (at Pinch Recording in Queens, NY), and the only times the band could be unmasked was for the singing!

Before they could share the album in a live setting, Julian decided to leave the band. Seth joined…but also left after a short stint. Now, since John has added his considerable experience to the trio, there have been a number of gigs in Manhattan and Westchester county. What comes next and where? Find out here, or Instagram, or (the dreaded) Facebook.   😉
