Hi there Molasses Creek fans,
We are deep in the midst of a
toasty summer here on Ocracoke . . . figs have just started to ripen this week,
and soon we will be putting away preserves so that we are ready for fig cakes
in the winter.
Gerald
Hampton is visiting the island this week and will be joining us at our
Deepwater Theater shows, so we will have the full touring band. What fun! Also, our friend Rodney Kemp
is joining us for the Opry this week and will be bringing plenty of Down East
stories.
Many
of you experienced stormy weather this last week and so did Ocracoke. Last weekend, a waterspout crossed Hwy
12 towards the north end and took out several electric poles, leaving the
village without power for about 8 hours. Tideland electric worked through the
night to restore electricity to the village (thank you!).
This
weekend (July 19), Molasses Creek will be performing at Greenville, NC’s Sunday
in the Park. We are so excited that the Green Grass Cloggers will be joining
us again this year, and that the concert will be dedicated to long-time event
producer and friend, Stuart Aronsen.
The evening begins at 7:00 PM. For more information visit http://www.greenvillenc.gov/government/recreation-parks/programs-and-activities/special-events/sunday-in-the-park.
We
are very excited that we have just received a proof of the “Waterbound” video
and will soon be making it available for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned! We
see a Oscar for Gerald Hampton’s portrayal of a waterlogged hobo! “Waterbound"
is the title track of our new Molasses Creek album . . . coincidentally named “Waterbound.”
