Note to promoters and concert venues, the way the show is billed should reflect the order of the evening's acts. This is the second time this year where I went to a show and missed the headliner because they went on first. Dead Horses is an Americana folk duo from Wisconsin. I only caught the tail end of their set, because they went on first.
Honeysuckle is a MA-based string band trio. Big fella on banjo and acoustic guitar, another guy on mandolin, and a young woman on acoustic guitar and lead vocals. The girl looked nerdy and unassuming, but when she sang a full throated alto like Norah Jones came out. Songs were mostly sad and folkie, but the band had a wry sense of humor. One song was about how the banjo player "loves his phone", another was about a "canary resuscitator". This band would be a pleasant acquisition to any folk festival lineup.
