Husband and wife duo Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish make their home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia. They write and sing with the inspiration of folk and old country music – high lonesome duet harmonies and tight instrumentation - crafting new songs from the southern mountains that ring with originality. With their glorious pitch-perfect harmonies, rock-solid runs on guitar, banjo and mandolin, affable stage charisma and constant touring (140+ shows and 40,000 miles in 2011), they are quickly becoming favorites across the country. . Their devotion to the craft and to each other creates an undeniable magic on stage. After their first place win in NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion 2008 talent show launched their national touring career, they have released two critically acclaimed albums, If the Sun Will Shine (2009), recorded live and mixed in a 1920’s barn and These Old Roots (2010). Both CDs are full of the same energy and emotion the Honey Dewdrops bring to the stage and have charted at the #1 and #2 positions on the Folk DJ Charts. They release their third CD Silver Lining in May 2012.

Located in a 100 year old building on Main Street, The Mainstay is a cultural and artistic center for Rock Hall, a historic “waterman’s” town on the Upper Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The town’s healthy mix of of people with a deep heritage on the Eastern Shore and newcomers who have fallen in love with the area give it a vitality, a hometown feeling and a sense of community that is hard to beat.

The Mainstay is a warm friendly place with great sound and sight lines. With only 120 seats, there’s not a bad one in the house. It’s a listening room that’s almost as comfortable as your living room. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available. Our audiences range from local Rock Hallers and Eastern Shore residents to those who find their way here from Philadelphia, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington DC and beyond.

The Mainstay offers more than 40 concerts a year. You can hear great jazz, blues, classical, folk …almost any form you enjoy. Check out “Performances” to see what’s coming up and here to see a list of some of our past performers.

So, come and see us in Rock Hall… our town motto is “nice people live here” and you’ll find a whole group of those people right here at The Mainstay!
