Lizzy Plotkin and Natalie Spears revel in the raw rhythms and endless groove of Appalachian fiddle/banjo duets, funky blues bass lines, and soulful harmony singing. Their original compositions and reverent interpretations of old-time and bluegrass standards draw from a rich history of listening and learning from great American music of the past.

After meeting in 2013 and playing together in Colorado’s female folk group Free the Honey in 2014, Lizzy and Natalie are happily reunited over a feast of new songs. They have appeared on the stages of The John Hartford Memorial Festival, Jammin at Hippie Jack’s, BlackPot Festival, Swallow Hill, Steve’s Guitars and The Jalopy Theatre, and can be seen touring around their homes on the Western Slope of Colorado and beyond.

Doors open at 6:15 p.m.; concert starts at 7 p.m.
