The Honey Dewdrops at The Freeman Stage
Americana duo The Honey Dewdrops — Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish — have long felt the push-and-pull between their original roots in the Appalachian mountains and their current home in urban Baltimore. You’ll hear it in their harmony soaked songs and the mastery of their instruments’ acoustic tones, but also in their songwriting, which reflects the hard realities of today. With their fifth independent release, "Anyone Can See" (released in March 2019), they have primed the creative energy so prevalent on their previous releases. Each song sparkles with focused intensity, and, with their new album, the duo shows that they’re growing rapidly as artists, enthusiastically exchanging an impossible quest for perfection for the compelling ebbs and flows that accompany an intimate, authentic kind of expression. With "Anyone Can See," Parrish and Wortman wanted to recreate the flexible, spontaneous atmosphere of their live performances. “We focused on that live energy by sitting close to each other in the studio so we could hear everything in a natural way,” says the duo. "By recording each song in its entirety and keeping edits minimal we found the takes that had the magic often had some variation of voice and rhythm, like the songs were unfolding themselves.” This performance will feature a talk-back with artists and is sponsored, in part, by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.
