Happy Now

"A song textured to perfection, we'll happily lose ourselves in this for days on end."

01 / Biography

The Story

The Honey Ants are John Grímsey and Rebecca Hamer — crafting Nashville-infused Americana underpinned by a distinctly London sound.

After meeting in London and bonding over a mutual obsession with classic American songwriting, Simon & Garfunkel, Harry Nilsson, and traditional roots music, the pair sang together and unearthed an unquestionably unique vocal chemistry. Armed with close-harmony resonance and cinematic storytelling, The Honey Ants have been captivating audiences on both sides of the Atlantic ever since.

Their music earned widespread acclaim across premier international tastemakers — backed by the prestigious PRS Foundation International Showcase Fund, praised by Music Week and Record of the Day, and championed on national and international airwaves including BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, CBC Radio 2 (Canada), and WFUV (New York).

From iconic London club stages like Ronnie Scott's, Omeara, and The Borderline to landmark transatlantic festival appearances at AmericanaFest in Nashville and Country2Country at The O2 Arena London, their songs have also graced television screens nationwide on Channel 4’s Sirens.
