The Charlottesville duo, the Honey Dewdrops, will perform Saturday May 26th at the Mainstay in Rock Hall, MD. The show starts at 8pm.
The Dewdrops are Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish, an award-winning duet that makes music and a living on the road, playing over 140 shows per year traveling from coast to coast and north and south. The Honey Dewdrops have logged 40,000 miles in 2011 touring nationally and playing festivals, folk clubs, arts centers and house concerts.
On stage, the Dewdrops are compelling performers and storytellers with a repertoire of original folk songs that bend an ear to American traditional and roots music. They sing harmonies that bring to mind steep mountains and deep hollows, and accompany each other with guitar, banjo, and mandolin.
“Our songs are about the human experience and we try to write and perform in that spirit – it’s an expression of life, songs that people can see themselves in,” says Wortman.
Wortman and Parrish gained national recognition with award winning performances on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion (2008) and were finalists in Mountain Stage’s New Song Contest (2009). Their new record, These Old Roots, was the #1 album on the Folk DJ Charts for October and November 2010.
The Dewdrops will appear at the Mainstay for an evening of duet singing featuring original songs and their signature harmonies.
