2018_Spotlight Series_local-honeysTonight, bluegrass powerhouse duo Local Honeys will take to the Levitt AMP Whitesburg stage, treating audiences to the warm, nostalgic sounds of an old-time Kentucky string band that seamlessly glides between impeccable originals and heartfelt covers of crowd-favorite standards. Comprised of Kentucky natives Linda Jean Stokley and Montana Hobbs, the songstresses’ lush and tight vocal harmonies, vivid lyrical storytelling and unflinching technical skills have brought them to the forefront of the Appalachian Music scene.
