Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears at the Bottleneck
If the Bottleneck learned one thing about Black Joe Lewis last night, it’s that his kin is important to him.
The Austin garage-soul act Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears played a makeup show in Lawrence on Saturday night after canceling several months ago following a band member’s death in the family.
“I love Kansas and Kansas City,” Lewis said. “I used to live there, and I got a lot of kinfolk there.”
Lewis decided to play a gig down the road a piece from his kinfolk — and the guy made good on his word that he’d reschedule. Hell, the crowd liked the band already, and it hadn’t played a single note yet.
