Honey Ryder?s back catalogue is a hybrid of music flavours ranging from rock/pop to country/folk and their live performance is punctuated with mandolin and bouzouki solos as well as electric and acoustic guitar.- they have been likened to bands/artists such as Fleetwood Mac and Sheryl Crow but their range of influences extend from James Taylor, The Eagles and Carole King to John Lee Hooker, The Beatles, U2 and Mark Knopfler.
Most recently, with the addition of Sara Eker in 2020 who as well as being Backing Vocalist, is now part of the songwriting team, their sound is full of lush female and male 4 part harmonies.

For the second and third albums ?Marley?s Chains? and ?Born in a Bottle? the group evolved into a trio with Jason Huxley and Matt Bishop, again receiving several Radio 2 playlists, album of the week in Music Week and on Smooth Radio and live sessions with Wogan and Bob Harris.
