The Long Honeymoon

about the band

Minneapolis-based pop-rock band The Long Honeymoon has been filling venues and exciting fans for more than three years with their high-energy shows, featuring original songs with rich vocal harmonies, catchy pop grooves, and clever arrangements. Its members, all 20+ year veterans of the Twin Cities music scene, combine a deep love of classic pop-rock with a modern sound and joyous spirit that’s attracting music lovers of all ages.

Having shared bills while playing in separate bands in the early 2000s, founding members Lee Zukor (Lee Rude, Charlie Bucket) and Adam Marshall (The Humbugs, The Bazillions) reconnected in 2022, finding instant chemistry through a shared love of artists including Elvis Costello, The Beautiful South, Stevie Wonder, and Teenage Fanclub. Excited by the songs they were writing, Lee and Adam enlisted Adam’s wife Kristin Marshall (also of The Humbugs and The Bazillions) to help flesh them out. Right away, the three knew they had something special - they just needed to find the right band. And did they ever!

Bassist Volney Hendrix (Lee Rude, Charlie Bucket) brings unique and catchy melodies to the band’s rhythm section, while drummer Dennis Olson (RadioSpares) anchors the band with tight grooves and smart pop sensibilities. Volney and Dennis’ combined experience includes extensive gigging with jazz bands, cover bands, hard rock bands, and pop bands, and the music The Long Honeymoon plays draws on all of these influences.

Lead guitarist Mike Senkovich (Atomic Flea, The Humbugs, The Bazillions) and keyboard/vocalist Eric Kreidler (Atomic Flea, Fever Pitch) have been playing catchy, original pop songs together since the mid 90s. In addition to their “day jobs” in the band, both are expert singers, songwriters, and arrangers, drawing on a love of power-pop, soul, jazz, and funk that gives The Long Honeymoon a sophistication not commonly found in local bands.

In October 2025, The Long Honeymoon released their debut album. “The World is Waiting” online and in stores.
