The Honey Dewdrops are the Virginia-based roots duet of Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish. With a blend of new Americana and traditional folk music, they create inspired songs that are rooted in the experiences and lives of common people. Their sound is transcendent; they write all their own songs and yet no one could ever peg them as just another singer-songwriter couple, not when they have embedded a sparse Appalachian clarity on every track that is accessible to listeners everywhere. The songs they write shine with energy and emotion through intimate performances with a handful of acoustic instruments and tightly layered harmonies.
On stage, the Honey Dewdrops focus on dynamically blending the sounds of instruments and voices by singing and playing into a single microphone. There is a high lonesome quality to the way their voices blend that is familiar, yet the mixture is unique. Their music covers the ground between hand-crafted folk songs, Appalachian ddle tunes, and a cappella spirituals. In their own way, the duo lls up a room with sound and feeling that lingers long after the show is over.
Their third album, Silver Lining, features beautiful harmonies that flow together effortlessly, as quick as a second thought. The acoustic instruments drift along the back roads of the music, between hills clouded with wood smoke. It's music made in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, beholden not to ancient traditions, but to the spirit of the hills and to the handmade, community music that came before.
During the past four years of touring full-time and playing for audiences across America, The Honey Dewdrops' down-to-earth, real-life approach to music has touched audiences broadly and brought them to high prole stages such as A Prairie Home Companion.
