Dianne Bochsler's musical career began by singing duets and playing guitar with her father. She adopted an important piece of his life philosophy: happiness is playing a guitar and singing with friends. Her love of the stage took her all the way from upstate New York to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. When she saw the music scene in the Pacific Northwest, she realized she had to be part of it. She followed her heart's desire and jumped into the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, where she found a bottomless well of inspiration.
Tara Caldwell’s musical roots rise from the mountains and prairies of Alberta and the folk traditions of the labor movement. An accomplished singer and songwriter, Tara finds inspiration in the brighter spots as well as the darker corners of human experience. As a two-year-old child, she "imprinted" with the banjo and has been following it around ever since. When Tara and Dianne met at their children’s preschool, they discovered their near-perfect vocal blend and immediately grew ambitious about performing, recording, and living out their musical dreams together.
Paul Elliott is an extremely versatile and respected West Coast fiddle player. He is a member of the legendary country group Sons of the Pioneers, originally founded in 1934 by Roy Rogers and sporting their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has performed with The Good Old Persons, John Reischman, Michelle Shocked, Alison Brown, Buell Neidlinger, and many others. His recording credits span film, television, and radio, and a long list of recordings including Scott Nygaard’s No Hurry on the Rounder label.

This annual show, now in its fourth year, features three unique, mostly homemade films accompanied by live soundtracks from Devin Champlin, John Swanke, and Sean Curtis Patrick. Hosted by Swanke with visuals curated by Emmy-winning director
, the night blends heartfelt, artful film and music performances with absurd and hilarious internet clip compilations shown between sets.
The evening begins at 7pm with a DJ set of obscure music, handmade projections, and vintage B-movie trailers. At 8pm, a short, highly edited compilation kick off the main program, offering everything from bizarre 1980s self-help videos to strange YouTube deep cuts. Some will make you laugh, some may make you cringe, and one may even require talking back to the screen… The three feature films remain the core of the event, enhanced by an array of obscure instruments, film and video projectors all over, and experimental visuals that transform the Honey Moon into a full A/V experience.
This year, the attempt will be made to have a more comfortable overflow area on the patio with additional projectors, screens, and heaters. Additionally, some exclusive merch by the guys will be available from everything from soda fired pottery, small woodworking pieces, photo books, zines, vinyl records, cassette tapes, and more!
“Hailing from the rainy forests of ‘Ōla‘a on Hawai‘i Island, Kalei Pulapulaakama Yamanoha grew up surrounded by Hawaiian music, family stories, and the sound of slack key guitar drifting through backyard gatherings. His playing reflects that upbringing—grounded, warm, and full of the small details of his home. The sounds of Slack key (kī hō‘alu) is where he finds his voice, blending old melodies with his own style while keeping the heart of the tradition intact.
Kalei is traveling from Hawai‘i Island to share his music at Honeymoon Meads on December 26th, where he’ll be playing a mix of traditional Hawaiian songs, paniolo tunes, and original pieces. His shows are relaxed and personal—more like sitting with a friend than watching from a distance. Through stories, humor, and the gentle feel of slack key, he aims to bring listeners a small piece of Hawai‘i and the sense of home that comes with it.”
