Honeyhoney (stylized as honeyhoney) was an Americana group based in Los Angeles, California, United States.
History

The band was formed in 2006 by musician Benjamin Jaffe and musician/model/actress Suzanne Santo. The two met at a costume party and signed a record deal a year later.[1] They originally performed under the name Zanzibar Lewis and were under that name when they signed with the now-defunct Ironworks record label.[2]

Their debut album, First Rodeo, was released by Ironworks on November 4.[2] Ironworks co-owner Kiefer Sutherland directed and starred in the group's music video for their song "Little Toy Gun".[3] Honeyhoney toured with Lifehouse, another Ironworks band, at the start of their career.[4] The band released their second studio album, Billy Jack, on Oct 24, 2011 under their own honeyhoney Records/Lost Highway label.[5]

Their third album, 3, was produced by Dave Cobb and released June 9, 2015.[6] The website American Songwriter reviewed it writing, "with a singer-songwriter that exudes the magnetic passion and swaggering star power of Santo, this is a group whose time has come."[7]

The duo parted with Rounder and disbanded in 2017.[8][9]
