Oh Honey was an American indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York formed by singer-songwriters Mitchy Collins and Danielle Bouchard.[1] Their touring live band consists of drummer Robbie Ernst.[1] Oh Honey describes itself as a blend of folk pop, indie pop, and pop music.[1]

History

Mitchy Collins started Oh Honey as a project following his associations with The Kin and Outasight. Looking for a female vocalist, he met Danielle Bouchard through mutual friends Christian Medice and Phoebe Ryan.[1][2]

Oh Honey began working as a group in April 2013, releasing its first single in September 2013.[1] The band is named after both the "Oh Honey" episode of How I Met Your Mother and the artisan, rooftop honey production movement in Brooklyn.[3][4] Oh Honey's EP, With Love was released independently in November 2013 and was well-reviewed.[3][5]

In December 2013, Oh Honey worked with Orange Is the New Black stars Danielle Brooks and Uzo Aduba to create a Christmas medley.[3] Throughout the end of 2013 and the start of 2014, the single Be Okay gained quick and steady acclaim, being covered on Glee on the March 25, 2014, episode titled New Directions.

After signing with Atlantic Records in February 2014 and being assigned to its Fueled by Ramen label, Oh Honey set up three tours as the opening act to James Blunt, The Fray, and American Authors and played at SXSW.[6][7][8] The EP With Love was re-released under the Atlantic Records label on March 25, 2014.[9] On August 12, 2014, Oh Honey released an EP of remixes of "Be Okay".[10]

In the fall of 2014, "Be Okay" was featured in national commercials for The Hundred-Foot Journey, the new ABC show Selfie, and the Chili's restaurant chain.[11][12][13] On October 11, 2014, Oh Honey released a second EP of original music titled Sincerely Yours.[14] The band indicated that 4 EPs, With Love, Sincerely Yours, Wish You Were Here and yet-to-be-released Until Next Time would culminate as a full series called Postcards.[15]

Oh Honey draws its influences from a number of sources including Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Regina Spektor, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, Bon Iver, Bruce Springsteen, and Ryan Adams.[6] Oh Honey's sound has been compared to Of Monsters and Men, American Authors, Sara Bareilles, The Lumineers, and Icona Pop.[7][16][17]

Collins split from Bouchard in 2016 to form lovelytheband.[18] Bouchard began recording as a solo artist under the name Luxtides.[19]
