HONESDALE, PA — Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival will mark its 10th anniversary this year, with a full day of events on Saturday, June 20 starting in the morning and going well into the night. The headliners are the Kentucky Headhunters, who will take the Main Stage in Central Park at 7:50 p.m. But the music starts in the morning. Bands playing on Main Street starting at 10:30 a.m., include Phyllis Hopkins Band (Re/Max Wayne), Friends of the Family (R3 Hardware), The Soul Shakers (Fred R. Miller Memorial Pavilion), janturan (Sawmill Cycles), Sara Hulse Band (Scarfalloto’s Town House Diner), Unreasonable Facisimle (Auction Building) and The Crackers (Antique Emporium). Chrissi Poland, a souful singer from southern Massachusetts who recently opened a tour for Lady Gaga, will present a songwriting workhshop at Basin & Main, 564 Main St., from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. “Chrissi has graciously agreed to share her thoughts about the songwriting process and how she crafts her music,” said Randy Kohrs, music coordinator for Honesdale Roots & Rhythm. “The workshop will offer participants a chance to dialogue with a singer whose richness and lyrical depth have drawn audiences everywhere. Her voice has been compared to such greats as Aretha Franklin, Carole King and Adele.”

Main Stage performances are kicked off by a mayor’s proclamation at 1:30 p.m., followed by the National anthem. Poland will lead off, followed by R&B, Woodstock-based band Professor Louie & the Crowmatix and blues sensation Alexis P. Suter & Band. And for the annual “Late Night Ramble,” from 10 p.m. to 12 midnight, Professor Louie & The Crowmatix will perform at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St.

But there’s more than music. All day the food vendors/artists’ row will be open; a beer garden will be offered by the Honesale Rotary; and there will be laser tag. From 12 noon to 5 p.m. the Tunes & Tales tent will be open in the courtyard of Central United Methodist Church on Church and 11th streets, with Standingbear Native American Tales, folk artist/singer Dave Matsinko and hands-on historic demonstrations.
