The Honey Dewdrops

Singing, Writing, Traveling…

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 a dear old friend. Warm and honest, the Dewdrops fill up a room with sound and spirit.

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 will release their third album, Silver Lining, in late spring 2012.

And On Occasion…

When the Dewdrops play in or around Virginia, the duet occasionally becomes a “truet”, with Barry Lawson accompanying on bass and mandolin. Barry is an accomplished instrumentalist and composer, and when he’s not teaching computer science at the University of Richmond or playing frisbee with his chocolate lab Lilly, he is a perfect balance to that “truet” harmony style of singing and playing.

Originally from Coeburn in the hills of far southwestern Virginia, Doc Lawson not only contributes his talents to the signature sound of the Honey Dewdrops, but was also the officiant for Laura’s and Kagey’s marriage ceremony.
