The Roe Jan Brewery, Hillsdale, NY Presents Christa Joy & the Honeybees

Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 5 PM

Christa Joy & the Honeybees, Americana, honkytonk, gospel-twinged country.

Joy spent the earliest years of her songwriting telling stories of her rural upbringing, the illness and death of her mother, and the brokenhearted years that followed this loss. Impermanence, separation, and the fragility of human life were themes that figured prominently in her early songwriting. Then she became a Mom in 2015. That new little being demanded her presence and Joy turned her attention back toward this most precious world. She saw it all again for the first time and experienced it all through the soft constant awareness of her little girl. She lightened up, began to laugh again, and took notes for the whole ride. These are the moments that brought together her most recent collection of songs, “Get On, Heart!” These are songs she has always dreamed of writing—the kind of music that makes you want to put your fanciest boots on, shake the dust off, and dance your heart out.

Great beer – great food. Come out and support a great venue.

Always a fun gig. Please, come say hi.
