II-WHO Orchestra: The core band of musical badasses. They play and tour with the world’s best. Google them.GUITARS
Rob Bonfiglio nails every lick and part he touches and is perennially the Wild Honey MVP. Geoff Pearlman is family and my favorite guitar player. His taste and A&R skills provided many of the show’s highlights.Matt Cartsonis is the Yosemite Sam spice that gave the show its kick.DRUMS
Nick Vincent +String arrangements (see above). Jim Laspesa — not Wild Honey without him. David Goodstein — brother from another mother named Barbara. Plays drums well :)Nelson Bragg -Percussio
KEYBOARD KORNER
The upscale neighborhood on the Wild Honey stage because of its residents Willie Aaron and Danny McGough.
BASS
Derek Anderson — not Wild Honey without him. Dan Rothchild — fantasy-camp legend and in every band I’m in, always. David Jenkins
