The Honeycutters, from Asheville, N.C., busking with tunes like Irene – “Good night, Irene, I swear this world ain’t as sad as the papers make it seem.”  As I’m feeling a little bad for making the world seem sad, lead singer Amanda Platt tells the small gathering why they’re taking a little break to adjust their instruments – “We tune, because we care.” Honeycutters are on their way to a gig tomorrow in Pittsburgh. Local Ann Arbor connection – uncle is Jay Platt, owner of West Side Book Shop. [photo]
