The Honey Dewdrops— Laura Wortman & Kagey Parrish— have long felt the push and pull between their original roots in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and their current home in Baltimore, Maryland. It is in the sound of their harmony-soaked songs, blended with the tones of guitar, banjo, and mandolin and also in the group's songwriting, which reflects the beautiful and hard realities of today. The Honey Dewdrops have toured internationally since 2009, on stages as diverse as A Prairie Home Companion, Celtic Connections (Scotland) and the Bluegrass Jamboree (Germany). “Gorgeous harmonies, thrilling arrangements, and some remarkably insightful, honest writing” —Sing Out! Magazine. Opening for The Honey Dewdrops will be local singer-songwriter and music entrepreneur, Gina Holsopple. Holsopple’s clear vocals and down-home sound have become a favorite for fans in her hometown and from afar— New York to Minnesota and Chicago to Baltimore. Gina owns the Gina Marie Music Studio in Oswego and specializes in teaching young musicians on guitar and keyboard.. / In existence for more than 30 years, the Oswego Music Hall offers mostly acoustical musicians every other Saturday night from September to June. On concert evenings, a large empty hall is transformed into an intimate venue replete with candlelit tables, professional staging and sound; as well as an array of freshly baked desserts, hot cider and freshly brewed coffee.
