Kitchener’s Onion Honey brings echoes of the musical past forward to the present; early blues, bluegrass, folksongs and mountain music finely distilled through their modern approach to traditional songwriting that reflects their roots in the Grand River Valley. This summer, they bring their new take on old fashioned string-band sounds to Essex County’s Patillo Apple Orchard for a foot-stomping, toe-tapping, hoedown in concert with their longtime local pal, roots songstress Allison Brown. The Orchard Boys (Doug and Ryan Patillo) will also perform a special opening set.
