Amanda Anne Platt and The Honeycutters

Bio

The music of Asheville, North Carolina based outfit Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters is nuanced, bringing insight and wit to the stories Platt tells through songwriting. Lyrically driven, the band’s country roots music often inspires introspection, whether it be about life on the road, heartache or hope.

There is an empathetic and charming wit ingrained in Platt’s songwriting. She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and applying it to her story-telling, whether she is writing from her own experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in another person’s life.

Performing along with Platt, The Honeycutters are Matt Smith (pedal steel and electric guitars), Rick Cooper (bass/vocals), Evan Martin (drums/vocals), and Kevin Williams (keys/vocals).

Matt Smith’s Well-crafted Music Series

The Well-Crafted Music Series is a weekly showcase curated by pedal steel guitarist Matt Smith, bringing standout talent to Asheville through fresh, genre-defying collaborations. Drawing from more than 20 years of touring and recording, the series highlights artists Matt has met and worked with along the way, creating one-of-a-kind performances you won’t see anywhere else.

Chairs, blankets and well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome in the Meadow. Please note that coolers and outside alcohol are not permitted on the premises.
