HAWLEY, PA — This weekend, Harmony Presents will showcase two highly praised musical groups in the underground theater of the Hawley Silk Mill on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26: Mississippi Blues duo Swampcandy and Molly Venter of Red Molly’s new project, Goodnight Moonshine.

Swampcandy is “whiskey-drinkin’, foot- stompin’, hand-clappin’ and pig-eatin’ music,” as described by Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents. Swampcandy doesn’t just play the blues, they transform the genre, taking one of American music’s oldest forms and rendering it brand new.”

Previously, Harmony Presents has showcased Roosevelt Dime at the Hawley Harvest Hoedown Bluegrass & Folk Concert, whose lead singer, Eben Pariser, joins Molly Venter from Red Molly on Goodnight Moonshine. “Molly’s voice bends from a sweet moan to a gritty shout and back into a playful run in the space of a few bars and it all goes down like silk,” writes American Songwriter Magazine. “Few singers turn first time listeners into eternal fanatics as effortlessly as Molly Venter.”

The Hawley Silk Mill is located at 8 Silk Mill Dr. Ticket prices for Swampcandy are $19 in advance and $22 general admission. Ticket prices for Goodnight Moonshine are $22 in advance and $25 general admission. Tickets can be purchased online at www.harmonypresents.com or in person at AMSkier Insurance, located at 209 Main Ave. For more information, visit www.harmonypresents.com.
