“The music of Truckstop Honeymoon tells a story that is sometimes ferociously funny, sometimes bitterly sad, but always affecting and believable.”

The Lyons Recorder, Colorado

​

Hailing from New Orleans, LA & Lawrence KS, USA and having previously played 2018, 2019 and 2022, Truckstop Honeymoon are back! Mike and Katie have been pursuing their own musical projects in the last few years (including Mike reforming 1990s band, The Man From Del Monte and releasing a new album).

 

Hollering with all their hearts over a five string banjo and a doghouse bass, Truckstop Honeymoon live the life they sing about. Touring across three continents with four kids and a truck load of songs, Katie and Mike West tell stories about the strangeness of everyday life. Their music combines elements of bluegrass, music hall jazz, and straight up rock’n’roll. They have released nine albums and a full length documentary, produced over two hundred albums for other artists, and received awards for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts.     

         

“Tales of cheating spouses, bad attitudes, short-change romances, endless asphalt and dodgy diners, all told with a 'psychobilly' sense of playfulness, ringing banjo and a bass as certain as a highway centerline” 

The Herald, Newcastle, Australia.
