I also really like that she has taken the harp\, a traditionally classical instrument\, and turned it into the instrument of a singer-songwriter.” \nNo established herself as one of the most exciting new voices in indie folk music with her 2017 debut album “Hard Won.” She followed up the album with the release of “Sundown\,” a benefit track for Black Lives Matter and her second album “Vanity\,”(2019) was a hit at college radio stations across the country. Lizzie has played with Iron & Wine\, Aida Victoria\, and as a part of the Black Opry Revue; a touring revue formed to raise awareness for Black musicians in Americana music. \n🍷Pre-Concert Wine Tastings: 7-7:45PM requires an additional ticket.

You’ll enjoy both his expertise and his ridiculous amount of charm. \nLizzie No at the Grand Annex Music Hall\, Published January 26\, 2023

SUMMARY:☆ Honey Whiskey Trio 10 Year Anniversary Concert
DESCRIPTION:Advance online & phone sales are closed. Tickets available at the door. $28 cash\, $33 credit.  \nConcert is at 8:30pm. Doors open at 6:45pm for the pre-concert “Body Rhythms” Workshop which will start a little after 7:00pm.  \nThe beloved three “sisters in song” return to the Annex stage to bring you rowdy tunes and at least one murder ballad with masterful harmonies\, stomp and traditional instrumentation. Los Angeles based Honey Whiskey Trio tells stories through song and stomp\, highlighting the musical traditions of American Folk Music. \nAlumni of the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University\, Long Beach\, Courtney Politano\, Ann Louise Thaiss and Christina Wilson began singing together in each other’s living rooms as an emotional and musical release. In 2013\, after seeing the impact of their music on the contemporary A cappella community\, these “sisters in song” solidified their style as American Folk and picked up instruments to further enhance their vocally driven sound. \nToday their passion for music education\, community outreach\, and singing unapologetically continues to drive them. They create\, arrange\, and explore music from the front porches\, music halls\, and hymn books of early America\, sharing it with students\, adults\, and life-long music lovers across the United States. \n“Their sound is intoxicating… To simply classify this trio as folk\, bluegrass\, or jazz would be to do them a great disservice. What I hear is great music and what I see is great joy.” – Bluegrass Spin \nPre-concert Body Rhythms Workshop at 7PM \n☆ Part of the Roots & Rambles concert series. \nConcert 8:30PM \nTickets include the workshop. \n☆ Roots & Rambles is a three-concert series featuring musicians dedicated to the preservation\, artistry and evolution of folk and traditional music in the United States. Each concert includes a workshop highlighting an aspect of the performer’s craft. Made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts.
