Music Festival, Downtown, Honesdale, Pennsylvania, USA June 21st, 2025
After our two year hiatus due to Covid restrictions and concerns we are back in ’22 and feeling freshly enthused. In our time off we have decided to update and redo our website. Check it all out at the same address since 2006 !! www.honesdalerootsandrhythm.com
We are sad to report the passing of Roots & Rhythm co-Founder Gail Bradley. Although she was no longer involved with the festival she was a major force behind the administration and the day of event for more than a decade. Here in this photo is Bluesman Little Sammy Davis singing to Gail while on WNEP with Joe Snedeker in the backyard in 2006. and here is a link to her obituary. https://hesslingfuneralhome.com/…/obi…/gail-bradley/820/
Custom built by Tony Maddi & John Rocklin, Painted by our Featured Artist for this year, Dane Tilghman.
