Wow!  The last couple of weeks sure have been exciting!  The news came down the pipeline that our new album, "An Island Out of Time",  reached #5 position for the national folk charts for March 2012, and the Molasses Creek band the #9 Artist position.  You can read all about it in the article below by Connie Leinbach.  Also in March, Molasses Creek received the 2012 Hyde County Tourism Award honoring the band's 19 years of music making, festival producing, and spreading the word about Ocracoke Island to the rest of the world.
