with special guest Olivia Ellen Lloyd
"Come out for great vibes and amazing Appalachian folk music right here at The New River Gorge!"
♪ Groove in the Gorge Music Series
The Local Honeys
The Local Honeys blend traditional Kentucky music with modern soundscapes and original songwriting.
Fuzzed out guitar and a vibey rhythm section set the sonic bedrock to showcase the entwinement of old-time banjo and fiddle styles at the forefront of their sound.
The Honeys understand the complexities of contemporary Appalachian life and their music is reflective of such through raw and emotive songs.
The narratives and perspective they weave into song, the deep understanding and endearment they share for hillbilly music, and their undeniable charm make it clear the duo is poised to become defining voices of a new Appalachia.
“Where Wild Meets Wonderful”
Olivia Ellen Lloyd
Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the traditional, rooted sounds of her West Virginia upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants exhilaration of her current life. She is inspired by the electric heartbeat of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown and the rich moments of life on the road in between.
