Our Top 10 Honeymoon Suite songs looks at a band with its origins in the 1980s that has continued to release music for over thirty years. There’s nothing like winning a song contest that eventually ends up helping a band sign a record deal. That’s the way it happened for the band Honeymoon Suite in the early 1980s. This great group hails from Ontario, Canada just north of Niagara Falls. In fact, it was the point that the band was from Niagara Falls that they named themselves Honeymoon Suite referring to the beautiful area in which they were located. The group released their first album in 1984. The band released four singles from their debut album enjoying success on the charts with many of the LP’s single releases. The original members of the band consisted of Derry Grehan on lead guitar and vocals, Johnnie Dee on lead vocals and guitar, Brian Brackstone on bass, Ray Coburn on keyboards, and Dave Betts on drums.

The band Honeymoon Suite released seven studio albums between the years 1984 and 2008. The group has also released two live albums and three compilation albums. As of 2020, the group was still releasing new music in the single format.
