Virginia raised and Maryland based, Laura and Kagey began touring in 2009 and have called Baltimore home since 2014. After their first concert there in 2010, Laura and Kagey regularly returned to work with musicians in the city’s thriving singer-songwriter and string-band music scene. After several years of visiting, they found it to be one of the most open and enthusiastic creative communities they’d come across. “We’re excited to be part of the arts scene in Baltimore. There are so many people layering all their experience and expertise here and there’s so much inspiration to draw from,” Laura said. “During the pandemic, we got the sense that a lot of the artists here were still making work to find a way through the unknown.”
For twelve years the Honey Dewdrops have been writing music for two voices and two instruments, mostly acoustic guitars and banjo, maximizing on a minimal format. Light Behind Light invites more instruments into the mix, increasing the range of frequencies and widening the space around the music. It also allows the songs time to travel melodic and narrative distances. 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.
"The Honey Dewdrops prove that the magic of their artistry is in their ability to impart a sense of compassion in listeners while delivering meaningful messages with a purity that’s so rare to encounter." - Cillea Houghton, No Depression
