Artist: Honkytonk Homeslice← See All Artists
Guitarist Bill Nershi – a founding member of The String Cheese Incident, one of America’s most popular jam bands – and his wife, Jilian Nershi (a singer/songwriter), co-founded Honkytonk Homeslice in 2004. The band expanded to a trio the following year, bringing in singer/songwriter Scott Law to add acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and vocals, and continues to provide an outlet through which these gifted artists can thrive.
Jambase has called the trio’s music “a fresh, home-grown sound characterized by exquisite musicianship, nuanced melodies, and evocative harmonies” and described the band as “nurturing a friendly, intimate musical environment that welcomes crowds—and often other musicians—into their musical living room”. Over the years, Honkytonk Homeslice accumulated an impressive history of epic jams with an array of bands and musicians, including The Del McCoury Band, Railroad Earth, Hot Buttered Rum, Assembly of Dust, ALO, New Monsoon, Daryl Anger and Keith “ the Moose” Moseley.

Honkytonk Homeslice (2006)
The self-titled studio debut from Honkytonk Homeslice (September 5, 2006) delivers 13 songs of down-home Americana music. The ringing harmonies and instruments seem to conjure a forth member of the band into the room, giving the album a haunting quality, and a full, rich sound.
