Superhoney

Superhoney's newest disc. It has six original songs plus a cd-rom video with a seventh song 'dr. phat.' it was named the number one local disc of the year by the boston herald.

Punctuated emphatically by the effusive vocal delivery of Joan Pimentel, SuperHoney embody the core aesthetics of both melodic rock and vintage soul. Drawing comparisons to Janis and Aretha, Joan has won broad critical acclaim for her extraordinary prowess -- including three nominations for Best Female Vocalist (2001, 2000, 1999) at the Boston Music Awards. Steve Morse, music critic from the Boston Globe, calls Joanie "one of Boston's best-kept secrets....she can really dig deep for some of the most unchained vocals in town."

SuperHoney has attracted a broad and expansive fan-base since their debut in 1998, packing venues throughout the Northeast and selling 11,500 copies of their first two CD's. The band's third CD, released in May of 2001, is entitled "Through the Radio Window" and was produced by Letters to Cleo's Scott Riebling. It was named the best local disc of the year by Sarah Rodman of the Boston Herald. She offers: "The peerless r & b and funk band just keeps getting better, and this album showcases the softer, more nuanced side of firebrand lead singer Joan Pimentel." Also featured on the CD is an enhanced video of their performance at the Orpheum Theatre in March.

The band's ambitious touring pace of 100 shows a year -- spanning territory from Montreal to Key West -- has helped cement their claim as a top live attraction. The recognition has been widespread, earning them 7 Boston Music Award nominations (Best Female Vocalist [3], Best Live Band [2], Best Soul Band [2]) and the top prize for Best R n' B Soul Band at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. Other honors include: 2000 Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll winner for "Best R n' B Soul" band, 1999 runner-up in CDnow's Best Unsigned Band contest, an MTV Real World cameo, selection to Tweeter's Best Undiscovered Bands, and a featured performance at the 2000 Boston Globe JazzFest. SuperHoney also earned the attention of George Clinton, who invited the band to "sit-in" with his P-Funk All-Stars at his Boston shows. SuperHoney has also supported Maceo Parker, Groove Collective, Rustic Overtones, Deep Banana Blackout, Original P, The Grey Boy All-Stars, The Tom Tom Club, and the Average White Band.
