Event Details

Husband-and-wife folk duo Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish began their careers as songwriters after their appearance and first-place win on a 2008 talent show broadcast of NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” The Dewdrops have since released two critically acclaimed albums, “If the Sun Will Shine” (2009) and “These Old Roots” (2010).

Performing on stage, The Honey Dewdrops’ “sweet kind of melancholy” echoes traditional American folk styles while reflecting the more modern sounds of country and rock. When it comes to composing, the duo strives for “relevant, meaningful songs.” Their tunes and words are efficient and simple, drawing inspiration from the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, where they live. Surrounded by this richness of old-time blues and bluegrass, the Dewdrops entwine tight harmony singing with thoughtful instrumentation and craft songs that are simple and fine-tuned. Theirs are new songs from the southern mountains that ring with originality.
