Hey guys and gals!
Thank you so much for supporting us and visiting our Myspace page, playing our songs and especially for all of your encouraging and kind words. We love reading your messages and comments and try to reply to as many of you as we can. We often get many of the same questions from you guys, so we thought that we'd make a not-so-typical bio to answer some of your burning questions and fill ya in on some little known WH facts!
Love ya!
Vic and Ruth
OUR NOT-SO-TYPICAL BIO
You may know us from the first season of CMT's "Can You Duet." We had the best time filming the show and are so thankful for all of the love and support from the fans who rooted for us!
We call ourselves Wild Honey, but you can call us Ruth and Vic. We were first called the Mason Dixies, but after writing one of our songs, "Wild Honey," we realized that it was the perfect name for us because one of us is a bit shy and as sweet as honey, and the other is a bit on the wild side. Can you guess who is "Wild" and who is "Honey?"
"When Victoria moved to Nashville she said that her best friend would have brown hair and blue eyes. I'm proud to call her mine." -Ruth
"We met while working at The Cheesecake Factory. A few months later Ruth was my best friend. Who knew our friendship would turn into this!" -Victoria
Ruth was raised by a family of grape farmers in Fredonia, NY.
Vic hails from Cumming, GA and moved to Nashville to pursue her music career after making it to the 2007 Nashville Star semi-finals after being coerced by a co-worker to give it a shot. Her loving and supportive family came along for the wild ride.
Emmylou, the half-chiuaua, half-we all have our guesses, is Wild Honey's mascot. She was named after one of our favorite artists, none other than Emmylou Harris, of course! Visit our iLike and Facebook pages for photos and videos of our amazing little "Lou Lou."
We were recently invited to blog with a few of our industry friends and favorite artists on the charity site, TheOneLove.org! We are so honored to be a part of such an inspiring community of our peers as well as to support the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. We can't wait to get started visiting the hospital and connecting with the children. Before Ruth was a part-time, on her way to full-time country singer, she worked with children, teaching them how to appreciate music.
We are very inspired by Lori McKenna and pray that we get the chance to write with her someday.
One of our songs, "This is What Love Looks Like," was inspired by a tee-shirt that Victoria was wearing that donned the phrase.
You will often find us playing at the local oyster bar, The Crescent. Our friend Scott, who owns the joint, always gives the audience quite a show of his own while dancing to our song "Sexy."
Ruth met our managers on a tour bus in Indianapolis at a pop music radio show in 2005. She had just ran to the bus while being chased down by fans who thought she was one of the Pussycat Dolls. It was snowing and Honkeytonk Badonkadonk was playing on the TV; and they had just shown up with a bag of White Castle. She didn't really want to eat it, but it was food and she'd rather not battle the snow.
Victoria met them when I took her along to the stadium concert one night during the 2007 CMA Music Festival. We didn't have an extra ticket, so our managers solicited free tickets from fans and Vic experienced her FIRST real concert. They expect to see us on that stage soon with our matching Gibson guitars, right down to the straps.
