Local Honey

Three musicians. A shared love of great songs. A few unexpected choices.

Local Honey is a New Jersey trio featuring Dirk Alexander on guitar and vocals, Todd Derstine on bass and vocals, and Andy Zampella on drums and vocals. We play the music we love, with a song list that follows our ears wherever they take us.

That might mean the smooth sounds of Seals & Crofts and Hall & Oates, the timeless songwriting of The Beatles, or the heavier edge of Black Sabbath, Rush, and Foo Fighters—with Jimi Hendrix, Tears for Fears, and Muse along the way.

For us, choosing the songs is half the fun. Behind every set are hours of conversation, trading ideas, and figuring out how three people can bring each song to life. We love that challenge: honoring what makes the original great while bringing our own energy and personality to the performance.

Playing throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we’re here for the familiar favorites, the songs you haven’t heard in a while, and the occasional “I can’t believe they’re playing this.”

If that sounds like your kind of night, you’re our people.

Come hang with us. Get a taste.
Local Honey is good for you!
