	HONEY JAMES BAND The Honey James Band has been around here in the triad since about the winter of 1999. It all began when Chris Holt and Jon Hightower of The Manestream Blues Band (what was once the house band for the Red Lion Manestream in High Point, NC) decided that they wanted to create something different. They embarked on a journey together to establish and maintain the most incredible band the triad area had ever seen. Slowly, but surely, that goal is being achieved. This is not to say that the band has not had its share of difficulties during its time of birth. Honey James is very young in that it hasn't even reached the age of two yet and already they have endured through a name change, a bass player change, and even the loss of the original lead, the infamous Mr. Ron James. But the band has met these obstacles head on and managed to overcome all adversity in order to continue on their constant path of success, hoping they can ride their faith, their dreams, and their dedication all the way to the top.
