Lansdowne Folk Club presents singer-songwriter folk/Americana duo The Honey Badgers on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025.
When Michael Natrin asked Erin Magnin to dust off her fiddle and join him for a couple songs at a local songwriter showcase, the two never imagined they were creating a musical partnership that would continue far into the future. Playfully calling themselves The Honey Badgers, more to make themselves chuckle than to make any sort of a statement, the two discovered a chemistry between their voices that demanded to be heard. Thus, the duo was born.

The Honey Badgers’ folk/Americana sound has been likened to that of The Civil Wars and The Swell Season. They are known for their intense, unique harmonies, their sincere lyrics and melodies, and their undeniable and captivating onstage charm. Weaving their voices together over driving guitar, wistful violin, and punchy harmonica, The Honey Badgers spin stories and songs about finding yourself, finding each other, and finding your way in the world.
The Honey Badgers have been creating music together since the summer of 2011. As full time musicians and travelers, Michael and Erin look forward now to creating music that has roots growing through every place they go. They are currently promoting their second full-length album, The Earth Turns and So Do We, which was released on June 20, 2024. The record is a mature and varied collection of original songs focused on the repeating cycles of life, death, love, and time itself. Check them out at https://www.honeybadgerfolk.
