The Honey Dewdrops with special guest Haunt the House at Lily Pads

We happily welcome back Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish, The Honey Dewdrops and Haunt the House. It's a sweet evening of acoustic tunes, sure to leave you smiling.

The closeness of sound and the musical compatibility that The Honey Dewdrops possess is unmistakeable. On their latest, Tangled Country, each share vocals and guitars, augmented by Parrish's mandolin and Wortman's work on banjo and harmonica. "I think it comes from spending a lot of time together and knowing the inner workings of each other creatively," say Wortman. And while comparisons to the music of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings are inevitable here, that's because there's something to this marriage of matrimony and music. Their live performances are often described as "mesmerizing," "evocative," and "genuine."

We start the evening with a solo set by Haunt the House. This will be Will Houlihan's third performance at Lily Pads, and we are happy to have him share this evening. Haunt the House, the full band version, played a strong set at Newport Folk in 2015. Paste Magazine says, "This is the kind of music that the genre tag of Americana was custom-made for."
