Run Honey Run: Maryann O’Kelley and Camille DeGanon
Sat, May 16, 5:00pm-7:00pm
Ramble West Brewing Co.
849 W 8th St.
This acoustic duo channels the easygoing spirit of ’70s folk with warm harmonies and a laid-back performance. Maryann O’Kelley and Camille DeGanon regularly perform around Chico, including residency at Golden Beaver Distillery. And it’s there O’Kelley showcases her songwriting talents hosting “Originals Only” nights. While the iteration of this duo performs primarily in Chico and Paradise, they coincidentally share their name with a very similar-sounding band’s name, a different NorCal duo that plays bluegrass. Chalk it up to musical mistaken identity. This free event is family friendly. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
