Virginia natives, Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish of The Honey Dewdrops began touring in 2009 and have called the city of Baltimore home for over 10 years. In their two decades’ long partnership, the Dewdrops have showcased the dynamism of 2 voices and 2 instruments in a live setting and recorded form. Laura and Kagey are always working towards expanding their experimental folk sound of electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin and clawhammer banjo with tight vocal harmonies, while maintaining a commitment to deepening their understanding of the world through the lens of songwriting and music.

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

“On this landmark anniversary, founder, lead singer and harpmaster Mark Wenner is still at the helm, while drummer Mark Stutso, guitarist Dan Hovey and bassist Paul Pisciotta all share vocals and songwriting, making this lineup one of the strongest. Decades of gigs and rabid fans have earned them the name ‘The Best Bar Band In The World.’ More than a bar band or blues band, as they’re frequently labeled, this is a band that played with Carl Perkins in addition to Muddy Waters.”

– Vizztone, 2022
