Honer, Godwin team up on "Mr. Meyers"
The original version appears on Honer's latest album, "Fighting For," which was released this summer
"I first heard 'Seneca Creek' in 2021, and I've been a fan of Charles ever since," said Honer. "I had the pleasure of hearing him open for Zach Bryan in 2022 and was blown away by his stage presence, energy and how tight his whole band was. He's got one of the richest voices I've ever heard, and he's been an inspiration for a long time now. To have him on this song means the absolute world to me. I wrote 'Mr. Meyers' in my car outside of my college dorm. This song means so much to me and I am so honored to sing this song with one of my favorite artists."
"I've always been a fan of songs that tell a story, so when Evan approached me about singing on 'Mr. Meyers' it was an easy yes," said Godwin "I think it speaks to a sort of universal fear that people have but don't talk about much, similar to John Prine's 'Hello in There.'"
The second leg of Honer's Nowhere Fast Tour continues across the US this month, with several dates already sold out while others have been upgraded to larger venues due to high demand. It'll be followed by a batch of dates with Wyatt Flores in December, including shows at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Brooklyn Paramount, and Boston's MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
Honer released his new EP, "Different Life," two weeks ago with four new songs. Over the summer, Honer also shared a reimagined version of his song "Fighting For" featuring a duet with Hailey Whitters.

CD reviews
Sometimes the best, most universal songs come from intensely personal perspectives; it's proof that we all go through the same stuff, whether we realize it or not. Charles Wesley Godwin has apparently been through the wringer over the last several years, including the stillbirth of his son in 2024, and he's promoting this new album as a redemption, a back to basics song cycle that hits upon loss, love, faith and doubts over the course of its dozen tunes, turning those specifics into ...
If "Live From the Steel City" is indicative of a typical Charles Wesley Godwin concert, then it's safe to say you get your money's worth at such an event. Clocking in at just under two hours, Godwin somehow manages to keep the band's energy and the audience's enthusiasm up the entire time. The in-between songs patter about how great the Pittsburgh pro football team is obvious pandering because any objective football fan knows the Steelers are mediocre at best. ...
