Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish have been making music for six years. They play original and American traditional songs focusing on vocal harmonies and tight instrumentation. In 2008, they won the Prairie Home Companion’s People in Their Twenties Talent Show. Recently they’ve been playing alongside performers such as Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart, Uncle Monk, and The Biscuit Burners.
On Aug. 28, they will appear in support of Jim Waive & the Young Divorcees at Charlottesville’s Fridays After Five. Their performance will feature songs from their debut record, If the Sun Will Shine, which was released in May, 2009.
