Hitchhiking Honeymoon is an acoustic folk-rock trio based in San Francisco. Their strong songwriting paints pictures and tells stories, with male and female vocal harmonies floating over intricate guitar playing, sparkling mandolin, and solid bass lines. They have three albums -  the first released in 2019 has the title- “Hitchhiking Honeymoon” and is under the artist name Eric Beattie, Sam Pointer, and Marymoore Patterson. The next two albums are under the artist name Hitchhiking Honeymoon…their titles are River Friend (2020) and Chase the Sun (EP, due March 25, 2022).  The vivid stories in their songs are populated by a range of interesting characters: river spirits, lovers on a beach, a widower mourning the loss of his wife, talking fish who scold fishermen, a self-driving car, long-lost friends, a cat who hates bluegrass music, an undercover agent, American settlers headed West, and a Golden Gate Park buffalo. The themes include love, loss, triumph, and the struggle for us to stay connected to each other and to the natural world. Hitchhiking Honeymoon is made up of married couple Eric Beattie and Marymoore Patterson (also in Eric Beattie and the Party Ants, with two albums) and Sam Pointer (also a solo artist, with two albums and a third coming in 2022).
