Live From Bonnaroo: Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears

Audio by Chris Humphries, Video by Irina Dvalidze and Renée Lynn Reizman

We named them one of our non-headlining acts not to miss at Bonnaroo, and Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears didn’t disappoint. Their Saturday afternoon set got even the sweatiest of festival-goers moving. Paste caught up with Lewis and Zach Ernst to talk about their appearance in Echotone, capturing their live energy in the studio and what went into writing the most danceable Howard Zinn-inspired track you’ll ever hear.
