Multi-platinum Canadian recording artists Honeymoon Suite have sold over a million CD’s world wide  over their 25 year career and still touring, recording and rocking out harder and better than ever!  Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, the principal and founding members of Honeymoon Suite.  Throughout 1983 and 1984 Honeymoon Suite toured Canada and the US. In 1984 the band was nominated for the ‘Most Promising Group’ Juno Award.

Propelled by the success of more singles from the album, 1985 saw the band begin to headline gigs throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada. A highlight was the presentation of an award at the 1985 Junos. By this time the first album had achieved platinum sales status. Almost 22 years later the album has now sold over 400,000 units in Canada alone.

Honeymoon Suite’s second album was released on Valentine’s Day 1986. ‘The Big Prize’, which went platinum in Canada, and sold steadily in the US.  Album three, ‘Racing After Midnight’, a slightly harder-edged more guitar oriented album that spawned a European tour with Status Quo and a headlining tour of Canada.
