Somewhere between Austria and Costa Rica, Honahlei builds a delicate and luminous musical bridge.
Formed by Costa Rican singer Michelle Gonzalez and Austrian musician Kevin Etheridge, the duo crafts intimate indie folk shaped by rich harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and warm acoustic textures. Their sound feels both fresh and timeless.
The name Honahlei is inspired by the mythical land of “Honah Lee” from the 1960s classic Puff the Magic Dragon, reflecting a sense of wonder, nostalgia and quiet magic that runs through their music.
Launched in 2024, the project quickly gained momentum, amassing millions of streams and reaching the top of independent charts in Austria. After touring Europe as support for Sean Koch, the duo is preparing the release of their second album in December 2025, followed by their first European headline tour in 2026.
At the Underground Lake, their blended voices and acoustic guitars promise a suspended, intimate and emotional moment.
