SALEM — Dulci-More: Folk & Traditional Musicians will host Honeytown at 7 p.m. Friday in the Meeting Room of the Dale Shaffer Research Library of the Salem Historical Society, 239 S. Lundy Ave. Parking is available in the municipal lot across Lundy. The building is handicapped accessible. Admission is $10 with an additional $5 covering all children in a family with a responsible adult.

Honeytown is a fun and upbeat four-piece group of creative musicians based in Kidron, Ohio featuring Tim Shue, Nate Gundy, Kevin Himes, and Toby Hazlett. The band’s eclectic musical mix of original compositions, unexpected arrangements, and tightly-blended harmonies have endeared them to audiences in both downtown theaters and rural barns. Their varied instrumentation ranging from fiddle to banjo, washboard to bass ukulele, accordion to percussive trash cans takes their audiences by pleasant surprise.

Honeytown has performed their unique blend of unpredictable folk Americana, rock and roll, and progressive bluegrass for conventions, conferences, art shows, churches, weddings, benefits, barbecues, house concerts, coffeehouses, and as the showcased musical guests for several performances of Carol Barnett’s The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass. They play regularly at Lehman’s in Kidron and have been the house band for the bi-annual Frohliche Dorf Show, also in Kidron. They have performed twice at the Kent State Folk Festival’s ‘Round Town, the Ohio and Pennsylvania Mennonite Relief Sales, and Lakeside Chautauqua in Lakeside, Ohio, and the Holmes County Ohio Fair. Performing four times at the Sing Me High Festival in the beautiful Shenendoah valley of Harrisonburg, Virginia has also been a highlight.

Since its founding in January of 1993, Dulci-More has met twice a month to enjoy playing and singing. The group occasionally performs for festivals, fairs, schools, churches, clubs, nursing homes, and others. The group also presented its Dulci-More Festival for 25 years featuring national, international, regional, and local musicians. The Dulci-More Concert Series usually presents two to four concerts each spring and fall.

No advance tickets or reservations are needed for the concert series. Free refreshments are available during the intermission. Everyone is welcome to attend.
