Local Honey is the third solo studio album by Brian Fallon, released on March 27, 2020. This introspective and folk-leaning album was inspired by Fallon’s reflections on midlife and the importance of family and home. Produced by Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis, the album features a stripped-back, intimate sound that contrasts with the more raucous style of his previous work with The Gaslight Anthem. Tracks like “When You’re Ready,” “21 Days,” and “Vincent” showcase Fallon’s raw emotion and storytelling prowess, making Local Honey a deeply personal and heartfelt record.

The album’s title, Local Honey, was inspired by signs Fallon saw around his hometown advertising local honey, which he felt symbolized the comfort and healing power of home. Each song on the album explores themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in everyday life. With its thoughtful lyrics and acoustic arrangements, Local Honey offers a quiet yet powerful reflection on the complexities of life and the importance of finding solace in the familiar.
