I discovered Honey of the Heart through Maren & Justin's weekly Kitchen Jam livestreams (with their lil daughter Joonie joining in from her high chair) conveyed through social media since the beginning of the pandemic. I had first known of the...m broadcasting from their kitchen, improvising with all kinds of instruments including what was at hand, like salt shakers or even scraping toast as percussion. They stopped me in my tracks. Who were these amazing people? They and their music were brilliant. And continue to be. That soulful voice of Maren - Justin too - and both their endless proficiency on all kinds of musical instruments is a wonder. Regarding the Kitchen Jams, for now they are still a beautiful part of the week. I found their recorded albums to download. Discovering their albums was an epiphany too. Since these initial kitchen jams, they have done several livestream concerts from their home, and other venues for good causes. Their music and spirit are so incredible and have been an important part of this challenging last year. I realize I discovered them a little later after they had started their music career. I love to follow them now and to see their continuous unfolding artistry. It is hard to encapsulate in words all they embody, but for sure they tap in with the deepest history, presence, and future of world music and these changing times. I would definitely have them at the top of my list for any live event (and hope to someday)!
