SERFA x AEA - The Honey Badgers - Bring With You Nothing (SERFA 2026 Annual Conference)

Bring With You Nothing by The Honey Badgers   / honeybadgerfolk   https://thehoneybadgers.bandcamp.com/... SERFA collaborated with AEA Ribbon Mics to record one take, single shot videos of several artists in our community during the SERFA 2026 Annual Conference in Owensboro, KY. We are grateful to AEA for their sponsorship and support of this effort that highlights their superb microphones and some of the incredible artists that we count in our membership! About The Honey Badgers: The Honey Badgers (Erin Magnin and Michael Natrin) invite you into their world the minute they step on stage. Combining radical vulnerability, humor in just the right moments, and a perfect vocal blend honed over the past decade, the two storytellers build a space where listeners can reconnect with themselves, their feelings, and the truest parts of being a human in a complicated time. For folks who love thoughtful lyrics, fun fiddle solos, and sparkling harmonies, The Honey Badgers are sure to deliver. The duo recently released their second full-length album, “The Earth Turns and So Do We”, a mature and varied collection of original songs focused on the repeating cycles of life, death, love, and time itself. In 2026 they are set to release a new EP titled “I Am a Garden”, a self-recorded whirlwind of joy and creativity, featuring found-sound percussion, group vocals courtesy of friends at a weekly potluck/jam night, and echoes of all the unconventional places used as recording studios, including (but not limited to) a basement, a camper van, and a dairy farm. Community and connection is at the heart of it all.

BRING WITH YOU NOTHING LYRICS: The Honey Badgers © 2024 Written by Erin Magnin and Michael Natrin Bring with you nothing but song And I will give you bread Bring with you nothing but a smile And I will make you tea Bring with you nothing but your sorrow And I will let you rest The circle is wide Pull up a chair Let's stay for a while We'll sit by the fire Just like we've done Since the start of time And the smoke and the song will mingle together And float up to the stars And the stars will look down and wish upon us That they weren't so far Bring with you nothing but your arms And I will hold you close Bring with you nothing but your voice And I will lend an ear Bring with you nothing but your dreams And I will share your hope The circle is wide Pull up a chair Let's stay for a while We'll sit by the fire Just like we've done Since the start of time And the smoke and the song will mingle together And float up to the stars And the stars will look down and wish upon us That they weren't so far Bring with you nothing Bring with you nothing Bring with you nothing (I'll fill your ears, I'll fill your hands, I'll fill your heart) The circle is wide Pull up a chair Let's stay for a while
