Triad Arts with David Ford Gar Ragland and NewSong Music present The Honey DewdropsJune 13, 2012NewSong Music is an independent organization based in Brooklyn, New York, that supports a community of performers and songwriters of all genres and skill levels. Each year, through its Mountain Stage Contest, NewSong identifies the best of the best within this community and introduces their music to a broader, international audience. The winner receives an international broadcast of NPR’s Mountain Stage program and a recording project produced by one of the music industry’s heaviest hitters.
The director and co-founder of NewSong, Gar Ragland, just happens to be a Winston-Salem native. He says when NewSong was ready to take the program beyond New York, his old hometown was a natural choice. This Saturday night, June 16, at 8:00pm, Gar brings the award-winning Honey Dewdrops to the Hanesbrands Theatre. Since winning the Prairie Home Companion’s talent show in 2008, their two critically acclaimed albums “If the Sun Will Shine” and “These Old Roots” have charted at the #1 and #2 positions on the Folk DJ Charts for 2010.
Gar spoke with TAUC host David Ford by phone from his NewSong office in Brooklyn.
