Duo Show
Virginia raised and Maryland based, Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish of The Honey Dewdrops began touring in 2009, having played stages and festivals far and wide in North America and Europe with two voices, two guitars, a mandolin and a banjo. Their new album, Light Behind Light, expands the sound of their previous records, with more instruments filling out the duo’s experimental folk songs. It invites more elements into the mix, increasing the range of frequencies and widening the space around the music. The new songs are given time to travel melodic and narrative distances while still keeping the sonic focus on Laura and Kagey. You feel that time in the details, rhythm and voices rippling out and then rippling back in, pulling you along in its current. In this way, the songs are invitations to respond, to move with them, to sing along.
When they’re not on tour, you can find Laura and Kagey playing in Baltimore with their Fred Eaglesmith tribute band, contributing backing vocals and instrumental sounds to various community recording projects, and you’ll probably see them going for a run in and around their neighborhood.
