The Honky Delta Farm Band

The Honky Delta Farm Band are an original rock band from Long Island, NY, and we’re not as country as our name implies. Despite our love of American roots music, most of our original songs are rock or blues or — as trendy as it might be to say it — “indie”. But mostly just rock.

In addition to original tunes, our musical catalog includes up-beat classic rock and indie covers, and suped-up versions of bluegrass/country standards.

1b. About the Name

One night at rehearsal, the band played a particularly exciting version of one of the aforementioned old-timey country standards. At that point someone (jokingly) suggested that we should be called “The Honky Delta Farm Band.” As silly as the name is, it stuck. It’s a little ridiculous, but it’s playful, and it pays homage to our roots.

These are a few studio recordings we’ve made and some recordings from a recent gig.

Come see the band that’s been called “The poor man’s Allman Brothers” and whose sound has been described as “Like that scene from the end of Back To The Future”!
