NEWS AND UPDATES
August 2026
Hard to believe we’re turning a corner on the summer. We spent the month of July working on various side projects and soaking in the Staunton summer time. Plenty of afternoon storms, fireworks from the porch, cold swimming hole hangs with friends and harvesting flowers from the farm where I work part- time. We’ve also been getting to know the area by bicycle!
This month, we’re playing in DC, Richmond and Baltimore. Next month, we’ll be living in Shenandoah National Park as their September Artists-in-Residence. For 3 weeks, we’ll be concentrating on making new music, inspired by the landscape. We've been looking forward to this since early 2025 when we were accepted into the program but unfortunately couldn’t participate due to a government shutdown last fall. If you live nearby, come see us during a public performance on September 25th in the park at the Big Meadows Amphitheater.
Wishing you all a happy (and not too hot) August!
Our most up-to-date schedule is posted below with more shows TBA.
Love and Light, Laura and Kagey
TOUR DATES
ABOUT
Virginia natives Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish of The Honey Dewdrops have been captivating audiences since 2009 with their beautifully crafted songs, rich vocal harmonies, and experimental folk sound. Their latest album, Here in the Mountains (2024), draws inspiration from the origin story of a close friend and continues their exploration of songs rooted in connection and humanity.
Throughout their two-decade partnership, Laura and Kagey have built a sound centered on the intimacy of two voices and two instruments, blending electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, and clawhammer banjo while continually expanding the boundaries of modern folk.
No Depression writes, “The Honey Dewdrops fill their songs with humanity, using their beautiful playing and harmonies to emphasize what connects us all.”
