(Honesdale, May 21, 2016)\u2026 They make music not war, but the lead female singer of the band Two-Thirds Goat, is a real McCoy from Eastern Kentucky. And this June, Annalyse McCoy and the rest of her bluesy-country rock band will perform not once but three times in conjunction with Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival on June 18th<\/sup>. Besides opening on the main stage on June 18th<\/sup> at 1:30pm in Central Park, the band will offer a workshop the night before, June 17th,<\/sup> \u00a0at 7:30pm at Basin and Main, 564 Main Street, Honesdale, and play after Roots & Rhythm at the Late Night Ramble at The Cooperage Project, 1030 Main Street, Honesdale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis band has a great sound, and folks will have three opportunities to catch them in town,\u201d says Randy Kohrs, music coordinator for Roots & Rhythm.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s name comes from the fact that two of the three originators of the now-five-member band are Capricorns, the astrological sign with the goat as its symbol. Two-Thirds Goat has been gaining national recognition for its mix of rock and country songs almost from day one. The band\u2019s album, Let It Rise<\/em>, has been celebrated in American Songwriter Magazine<\/em>,\u00a0Austin Town Hall<\/em>,\u00a0Elmore Magazine<\/em>,\u00a0Mother Church Pew<\/em>, Surviving the Golden Age<\/em> and more.<\/p>\n

Their first single, “Whiskey Sins,” is described as \u201ca raucous, rocking country song about three\u00a0loves: Jack, Jim, and Johnny; and the\u00a0inevitable sins that accompany them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited that this terrific band is not only offering a music workshop for us, but also sticking around to perform at The Late Night Ramble at The Cooperage Project,\u201d says Kohrs.<\/p>\n

Roots & Rhythm, the workshop and the Ramble are all free to the public. The Cooperage will also be offering refreshments for sale when the doors open at 9pm. Music starts at 10pm.<\/p>\n

Now marking its 11th<\/sup> year, Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival is a non-profit family-friendly event produced and staffed by volunteers. In addition to the music \u2013 Two-Thirds Goat will be followed by The Tall Pines, Sarah Borges and headliner Amy Helm\u2014the festival offers an Artist\u2019s Row and a Food Vendor\u2019s Row, along with activities for children at Tunes & Tales.<\/p>\n

The festival is supported by donations and grants, including awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pocono Arts Council. \u00a0For additional information about the event or to volunteer, visit www.honesdalerootsandrhythm.com<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n
