The Honeycutters was founded in 2007 by Amanda Anne Platt and former guitarist Peter James based around Platt's songwriting. Originally called the Bee's Knees, the band derived its current name from a Tow truck company in Asheville, NC. They released their first studio album, Irene, in 2009, followed by When Bitter Met Sweet in 2012. In 2015, The Honeycutters signed with Organic Records and released their third full-length studio album, Me Oh My. Their album, On The Ropes, was released in 2016 and a self-titled album was released on June 9, 2017. On May 24, 2019, the band released a live album, Live at the Grey Eagle. The band has performed throughout the United States, Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, and the UK, including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Rochester International Jazz Festival, Folk Alliance International, AmericanaFest, MerleFest, and Mountain Stage. In 2016, they were featured on NPR's World Cafe: Sense of Place Asheville.
