Honey Island Swamp Band returns to Norwich; free show tonight
NORWICH – The Honey Island Swamp Band returns to Norwich to kick off Blues Fest weekend with a show downtown.
Thursday night’s installment of the NBT Bank Free Summer Concert Series presented by the Chenango Blues Association features ‘Bayou Americana’ of The Honey Island Swamp Band.
Aaron Wilkinson takes on mandolin, guitar and vocals, Chris Mule plays electric guitar and vocals, Sam Price brings the bass, Trevor Brooks plays organ, and Garland Paul handles the drums.
The group earned the Big Easy Award for Best Roots Rock artist in both 2011 and 2012. The band’s sound draws from influences Lowell George and Little Feat, The Band, Taj Mahal, Gram Parsons, Jerry Garcia, Johnny Cash, Earl King and Dr. John.
“There aren’t many towns like Norwich that have such an appetite for live music,” said Aaron Wilkinson in a previous interview with The Evening Sun. “It’s just cool to get up there, everyone is so enthusiastic and so nice. The festival is just really great and we’ve made some great friends with the organizers and fans.”
The show is set to kick off at 7 p.m., Thursday, in the East Park in downtown Norwich.
In the event of rain, the show will move to the Chenango Arts Council.
Vendors in the park during the show include Ninas and Poppy’s Food Truck.
Honey Island will be the final performance in the park prior to the 25th annual Blues Festival this weekend.
“We’re excited to play these songs live and share them with the folks up there,” he said. “It’s an honor to be able to play up there so many times.”
