Howlin’ at the Moon featuring Honeysuckle

August 7 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Howlin’ at the Moon is thrilled to feature Honeysuckle!

Honeysuckle, comprised of Holly McGarry and Chris Bloniarz, is a progressive folk act that blends older influences and traditional instrumentation with modern effects and inspiration.  They don’t shy away from moments that are as technical as they are mesmerizing, and their musicianship really shines through.  Honeysuckle has performed at Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, Mountain Jam, Americanafest, Otis Mountain Get Down, and Audiotree. Awards include Americana Artist of the Year (2019) and Folk Artist of the Year (2018) at the Boston Music Awards, in addition to having been nominated every year since 2016. NPR named Honeysuckle one of the “Top 10 bands of 2016 So Far.”

Opening the night is our host Everest Rising, who curates the featured artist invites and serves the warm-up act for each concert in the series. Located in New York’s Capital Region, Everest Rising is a tightly-knit quintet influenced by bluegrass, Americana, rock, jazz and more. Together they create progressive acoustic music that is unique, powerful, and comfortably familiar. With a wide dynamic range, Everest Rising’s material spans from heartfelt laments to all out jams, all executed with instrumental finesse and thoughtful story-telling.

Howlin’ at the Moon showcases regional music from a variety of genres, providing an authentic musical experience for both audience and musicians. Music traditions are meant to be fluid and evolving, and Howlin’ nurtures regional musical talent while providing opportunities for cross-pollination. All in a 1760 Dutch Barn that inspires and reminds us of our place within history!

Admission is $10 or $5 for SCHS members with valid membership card. Cash only. Beer and wine available for purchase.
