Artist description In May 1998, Celia Kipp, Alexz Adams, and Josh Almoney pooled their musical talents for a chance to headline a popular Baltimore festival. They assumed this would be their one and only performance; but they were wrong. The audience response was so overwhelming that they decided to stay together, and named the group Hot Honey Magnet. In June, 1999, Hot Honey Magnet expanded with the welcome addition of Leslie Russel on lead guitar. The band’s upbeat tempo, combined with Kipp’s original, harmony-driven lyrics have had critics comparing Kipp to Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, Sinead O’Connor and Beth Orton. Hot Honey Magnet delivers a passionate and emotional performance - that sometimes may require venues to have knowledge of local decency laws and fire regulations. (When it has been appropriate, Kipp has been known to step on stage wearing only a cowboy hat, chaps and two strategic ally placed bumper stickers!)
