Mississippi blues duo SwampCandy in Hawley

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — On Saturday, November 21 at 8 p.m. Harmony Presents will showcase SwampCandy, a band that plays “whiskey drinkin’, foot stompin’, hand clappin’ and pig eatin’ music,” as described by Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents.

“This aggressive Mississippi Blues and Roots influenced duo won the 2014 Floyd Festival On The Rise competition coming in first place out of 35 bands that performed,” Carletti said. “SwampCandy doesn’t just play the blues, they transform the genre, taking one of American music’s oldest forms and rendering it brand new. Audience members will probably feel like they could wrestle an alligator after the show. We’ve had them with us before, and they’re incredibly entertaining. We’re excited for their return.”

Concerts by Harmony Presents are located in the underground theater of the Hawley Silk Mill at 8 Silk Mill Dr. Advance tickets are available for $18 to the first 40 ticket buyers or until midnight before the show. After this, tickets will be available for $22. Tickets can be purchased online at www.harmony presents.com or in person at AMSkier Insurance located at 209 Main Ave. For more information call 570/588-8077. Wine, beer and light snacks are made available by Cocoon Catering during the show.
