Montana Hobbs says The Local Honeys write protest songs because no one said they couldn’t

If you haven’t caught the new episode of Roots Music Rambler, stop what you’re doing and go watch, listen, or at least bookmark it for later.

Frank and Falls talk to @lindajeanstokley and @montanafromky from @thelocalhoneys about everything from their early days at Morehead State University to managing the business of being a band and more.

Montana explained the band’s tendency to write protest songs — less common than they once were — is just because no one ever told them they couldn’t.

Linda Jean Stokley said The Local Honeys version of Sorry You’re Sick broke up the news monotony

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, @lindajeanstokley and @montanafromky from @thelocalhoneys told us all kinds of stories about their background, music, impact and more. They didn’t confirm a new album is coming, but they also didn’t exactly deny that, either.

They did talk about some of the singles they’ve dropped recently, including Sorry You’re Sick, a cover of a Ted Hawkins song Linda Jean said she loves to play fast and wild.

The Local Honeys love them some Tom T. Hall

We had such a blast talking to @lindajeanstokley and @montanafromky from @thelocalhoneys on the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler. Getting to know them is like getting to know Appalachia. Their music, their purpose-led writing, their sense of humor and self … we can’t say enough.

We asked them all kinds of questions including who influences them as songwriters. Linda Jean said a fellow Kentuckian is at the top of that list.

The Local Honeys song Cigarette Trees is a protest song against big coal

An all new episode of Roots Music Rambler is live and this week, we have the thrill of chatting with @lindajeanstokley and @montanafromky from @thelocalhoneys! They’re best known for their traditional mountain music-infused sound and songs that protest and stand up for injustices, especially those suffered by the poor in Appalachia.

Linda Jean told us how the song Cigarette Trees, which is an indictment of big coal companies taking advantage of miners and communities in the mountains, came about.
