Fiddler Dave's winter garden goes nuts with the sunny weather! Yum!
Hey there folks,
A lot of exciting activities have happened this last week on and off of Ocracoke. As Molasses Creek prepares to launch a month-long Northeast tour and complete recording tracks for its 11th album, warm weather on Ocracoke Island brings a steady stream of spring-breakers to the beach and happiness to salt-sprayed gardens.

Mandolin Orange Performs at Deepwater Theater
Mandolin Orange
Last Friday at Deepwater Theater, we the Ocrafolk Festival Winter Concert Series hosted our friends, Mandolin Orange from Chapel Hill, for a day of school residencies and a wonderful evening concert. Mandolin Orange is a band fronted by songwriter Andrew Marlin and vocalist/instrumentalist Emily Frantz. The duo ornaments lyric and harmony-focused tunes with acoustic & electric guitars, fiddle, and mandolin. They are currently finishing up their second album with Jeff and James at Arbor Ridge Studios in Chapel Hill. Wonderful songwriters, performers and people! Take a listen and find out more about them at www.mandolinorange.com
