Singing, Writing, Traveling…
Hailing from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in
Charlottesville, VA, the Honey Dewdrops are Laura Wortman and
Kagey Parrish. Together, writing and singing in the veins of folk
and old country music, Laura and Kagey have been touring the country over the past 4 years and have appeared on “A Prairie Home Companion,” gained Folk Radio notoriety with a #1 album and have shared the stage with musical greats such as Carolina Chocolate Drops, Mary Gauthier, and Matt Flinner Trio.
The Honey Dewdrops combine a high lonesome duet harmony vocal style with contagious energy, soulful new songs and a fresh angle.
The result, with guitars, a banjo and a mandolin, is a sound that welcomes you in like an old friend. Warm and honest, the
Dewdrops fill up a room with sound and spirit.

THIS PORTLAND-BASED TRIO EVOLVED from a long-time
collaboration between keyboardist Galen Clark and drummer Jesse Brooke. After spending the winter of 2005 abroad studying music,
Jesse and Galen returned to Portland and teamed up with bassist Bill Athens. The resulting mix of groove-based improvisation, instrumental funk, and rhythm and blues began to develop as the members
continued to write and freelance in projects of various genres
in the Pacific Northwest and tour on both coasts.
The trio recorded their first album “The Aqueous” in 2007, following it with the acclaimed “Cave Dweller” in 2009. With the latest release
of “I’ll Meet You There Tomorrow” in 2012, it has become
apparent that their unique brand of jazz is becoming
recognized both for listening and for thumping the floor.

Concert - Heather Maloney
As a new songwriter, there is already an abundance of press
response, calling her lyrics "Terrific" (Huffington Post), "Poignant" (Portsmouth Herald), and "Powerful" (Rochester City News).
As a classically trained vocalist who once aimed for the opera,
there is a strength and certainty in her voice that provides a solid foundation for the "unfettered" (Intelligencer Journal)
vocal playfulness throughout her work.
Heather’s title track and name of her debut album,
Cozy Razor's Edge was voted by WRSI 93.9 The River listeners
as one of the best songs of 2009, Worcester Magazine calls it
“stunning folk-rock”, and Connecticut's Middletown Press says
"(Cozy Razors Edge) highlights her nearly unlimited vocal range and ability to write melodic tunes that somehow ride the line between
playful folk/pop and depth-defying soul."
