Biography
The Nouveaux Honkies started as an
idea, came to fruition as a duo, and now are a slammin quartet.
Thirteen years ago Tim O'Donnell (guitar/vocals) started his
training, backing and traveling with various gospel and blues
acts around the country and overseas. In 2004, the 4 hurricanes
that pummeled Florida left O'Donnell scratching his head. In
2005, this blond hair, blue eyed, white boy from Port Salerno
Florida, met Rebecca Dawkins (violinist) and The Nouveaux
Honkies were birthed. In one year of their first self titled
release, this quartet has quickly made a name for themselves
through the southeast with there unique sound and blistering
show. O'Donnell's imaginative yet authentic approach combine
his convincing vocals with his faithful guitar work. Dawkin's
beautifully haunting violin lays in the mix and projects
perfectly. This smoothly lays over rhythm sections, Ben Laing
(bass) and Phil Ori (drums) deep and sensitive approach. This
bands well conceived interpretations of blues and R&B classics
combined with their retro approach of O'Donnell's original
material give them the fire power to headline any show. Their
self titled 2007 release "The Nouveaux Honkies" saw great
reviews, both in the states and overseas and their brand new
2008 release "Where Do I Go" is a true roots/blues extravaganza,
with footstompin 2 beats, Double shuffles, R&B grooves and
gospel tinged instrumentals. Listen to it or catch them live
and you will be Honkified like the rest.
