“It’s great to be part of a young, vibrant group of people who understand the continued awareness of why choice is so important in our lives: from choice in personal decision making to choice in what latest bag I’ll bring on May 2!” says Andrea Mackris, committee chair of friendsbychoice.

HoneyVox Dance Band plays everything foot stomping originals that touch on sounds of old school, hip-hop, R&B, pop, funk, rock, jazz, Motown and a little taste of country. The six members of HoneyVox have individually graced the stage with well known local and national acts such as Chuck Berry, Oliver Sain, Ike Turner, Dennis Edwards, The Time and Fontella Bass.
