Molasses Creek's new album, Waterbound, has arrived!

Hey there folks,

We are so excited that our brand new release, Waterbound, arrived in yesterday to the island! The recording features new originals as well as some old favorites performed by Gary Mitchell, Fiddler Dave Tweedie, Gerald Hampton & Kim France, plus a special guest appearance by Sarah Osborne playing claw hammer banjo and raising the rafters with lead vocals on Cindy and I've Been Working on the Railroad.  Lou Castro also makes an appearance with some tasty guitar on Weeping Willow Blues by our friend Catesby Jones (Kitty Mitchell adds a sweet vocal harmony to that song as well).  To take a listen to tracks and read more, order your own copy or download it from iTunes, visit this link to our website.

In other news, we have an upcoming fundraising concert for Rotary Club of James City County at the Kimball Theatre in Williamsburg, VA this coming Saturday, May 30 at 7:30 PM. The acoustics in this hall are wonderful!  Hope you will join us as we feature some new material off the Waterbound album.

We are also knee deep in preparation for the Ocrafolk Festival and for the start of our summer season at Deepwater Theater on School Road.  Hope you can come and see us!

All the best!

Molasses Creek's "Waterbound" CD Cover Unveiled! Ocrafolk Festival News. Gary Travels to Offshore Drilling Hearing.

Howdy friends!

Spring is popping up all over the island . . . new lettuce seeds are sprouting in Fiddler Dave's garden, and spring breakers are trickling onto the island and wandering around the village. Ocracoke Arts Week begins tomorrow at Ocracoke School featuring classes in steel drumming, Paperhand Puppet construction, dance, pottery, and Spanish interpretive poetry.  Springtime is one of the busiest on Ocracoke for residents as they create the latest incarnation of their business for the new season.

This month, Molasses Creek will be releasing a new CD, and touring in Eastern Carolina with a new version of the ensemble featuring Gary, Fiddler Dave, Gerald Hampton, and Kim France on bass. Performance details at the end of this post.  Hope to see you folks out on the road! Here's the news!

Molasses Creek Unveils the Cover of "Waterbound"

 This past week, Gary and I (Fiddler Dave) have been busily finishing up tracks in the studio, preparing the new Molasses Creek recording, Waterbound, for mixing and mastering before being sent off for duplication at the beginning of April.  At the same time, we have been bouncing album design concepts back and forth with our design guru, Justin Casey of Washington, NC.  Ocrafolk Festival fans might remember Justin from his performances with his band, Carolina Still, but you might not realize that Justin has also been the designer (and photographer/videographer) behind our last two Molasses Creek releases, as well as the Ocrafolk Festival printed program.

Justin does fabulous work and his steady hand helps guide the visuals for our annual spring Ocrafolk Festival/Molasses Creek marathons.  Thanks Justin!  We anticipate having the new album available for our spring teenie-tour, April 17-19.

Ocrafolk Festival Unveils the 2015 Artwork, Entices Sponsors with Fabulous Rewards!

Click on this link to find out more how to become a sponsor.  Donations are tax-deductible.

This year's festival artwork is by our friend and fellow musician, April Trueblood. April plays at the Ocrafolk Opry during the summer as well as in Raygun Ruby with Lou Castro and Kenny Furr.

June 5-7 will herald the 16th annual Ocrafolk Festival on Ocracoke Island. The flagship event of Ocracoke Alive is one of the most popular weekends for visitors, as word of the event spreads across North Carolina and beyond. Last year, Our State Magazine featured the event as a top ranked NC festival, and several years ago it was ranked as one of the top 10 Island Festivals in the world by Coastal Living Magazine.  The Ocrafolk Festival's unique setting, and Ocracoke Alive's attention to detail helps create a weekend that is treasured by visitor and resident alike.

 The festival features musicians, storytellers, artisans, and characters from the NC region and beyond.  Popular events include a Fish Fry, Squaredance, Art Auction, Paperhand Puppet Parade, Gospel Sing, Bluegrass Jam, and performances by over 27 groups that will make fans of folk music and storytelling swoon.

Sponsors are a critical component of bringing the Ocrafolk Festival to life each year. The sponsors' passion for preserving the event through their donations fuels almost half of the total cost of the weekend. And the Ocrafolk Festival staff works hard to create unique rewards that make contributors feel a special part of the event.  As a sponsor you can not only receive the usual festival T-shirts and media recognition, but also an invitation to an Admiralty Party aboard Ocracoke Alive's Skipjack Wilma Lee, pre-release tickets to limited seating events, passes to the Fish Fry, reserved parking near festival grounds, and Supporter Level Buttons that enter you in drawings all weekend. Best of all, your sponsorship helps make sure that this unique event continues for another year! Come join your Ocracoke friends for a fabulous weekend!

Gary Travels to Hearing to Speak Out Against Offshore Oil Drilling

On March 19th, Gary Mitchell traveled up the beach to Kill Devil Hills to join about 670 other Outer Banks residents and members of LegaSea to say "No" to oil exploration off the coast of North Carolina. LegaSea was formed 25 years ago in response to Mobil Oil Corp. efforts to sink an exploratory well off Cape Hatteras. The open forum was held by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in order to receive community feedback on a proposed lease sale of up to 14 sites between 2017-2022 within planning areas along the mid and south Atlantic, Alaska and Gulf of Mexico coasts. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's administration is currently in support of the plan.

Executive director of the Outer Banks Visitor Bureau expressed his concern of the potential threat that offshore drilling could pose to tourism brought by the natural environment and pristine beaches of North Carolina. “Why then would we gamble with a proven industry?” Nettles addressed to the audience “Offshore drilling is a threat disguised as an opportunity,” he said.

If you are a fan of Ocracoke Island and the Outer Banks, we encourage you to speak your mind! Public comments on the proposed leasing program will be accepted by BOEM through March 30 at www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=BOEM_FRDOC_0001-0312;p=1 . Read more about the issue in an article by Coastal Review Online at www.coastalreview.org/2015/03/an-outcry-of-drilling-opposition-from-outer-banks/. Thanks for helping out our communities!

Summertime is here on Ocracoke Island, in spite of Hurricane Arthur!

Hello Molasses Creek friends,

Fiddler Dave's son Lachlan, with a tree downed from Hurricane Arthur on the Back Rd of Ocracoke

Summer has arrived on Ocracoke Island and we have jumped into our weekly shows at Deepwater Theater.  On Wednesdays, Molasses Creek presents the Ocrafolk Opry and on Thursdays we feature an all Molasses Creek concert. If you are planning on coming to a show while visiting this summer, we do recommend making reservations online at our Deepwater Theater page at www.molassescreek.com/deepwater-theater, or by putting your name on the Will Call list by calling Fiddler Dave at 252-921-0260.  June shows were almost completely sold out!

We had a most unusual 4th of July this year. Hurricane Arthur roared through on Friday morning, July 4th. Unfortunately, it drove away visitors, took down some trees, and snapped the boom in half of Ocracoke Alive's Skipjack Wilma Lee tore up the mainsail. Ocracoke Alive is currently having an Indiegogo Campaign to help raise funds for repairs.  There are some great Ocracoke rewards if you want to pitch in and lend a hand. Fortunately, the damage to the rest of the village was fairly minimal with little flooding. The village chipper is making its way around the island and tourists have returned. Time to come and see what shells the storm dredged up!

Howard St on Ocracoke after the storm

This year's Ocrafolk Festival, June 6-8, was a great success and we experienced some of the most perfect weather in festival history.

Molasses Creek and the Ocrafolk Festival were featured in the June edition of Our State magazine in an article on summer festivals. Read all about it by clicking here!

   

We loved seeing all our friends from years past, including the MacDonald Sisters, Caravan of Thieves, Jef the Mime, John Golden (this list could go on quite a while), and meeting some new folks like Mipso and the South Carolina Broadcasters.

This spring Molasses Creek toured out west and also to the North. We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of the presenters, hosts, and worker bees who help us along the way!  Here are some pictures from our travels.

Molasses Creek's Catharsis: "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" Song Detail

LOUIE! LOUIE! Move AWAY from that VOCAL MIKE!

We always like to tease Molasses Creek band member Lou Castro about singing lead on songs. Many of you who have seen the band live have been wowed by Lou's musical talents on just about any instrument he picks up: guitar, bass, resonator guitar, dobro, lap steel. A graduate of the Berklee School of Music in Boston, Lou is a musician's musician, with extraordinary improvisational skills and a musical mind that can map the leads and chordal path of a song, all while eating a 3 AM cheese sandwich. Lou's love of playing music is matched by an enthusiasm for teaching, and an endless patience for working with students at any musical level. He works with many young students in and out of Ocracoke Island's K-12 school, and can be found playing about 10 times a week during the summer season on the island.

Although an amazing instrumentalist, Lou is rarely found singing lead at Molasses Creek shows, so it was a real treat to capture Lou on tape for the new Molasses Creek album, Catharsis. Lou sings lead on the old Billy Mayhew song "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie." This week we have unmasked the entire track on the Catharsis page so that you can listen to the whole thing!

It's a Sin to Tell a Lie
By Billy Mayhew

Be sure it's true when you say 'I Love You'
It's a sin to tell a lie
Billions of hearts have been broken
Just cause these words were spoke
I love you, yes I do, I really love you
But if you break my heart I'll die
So be sure that it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell lie

News from Gary and Soundside Studio
by Gary Mitchell


Fiddler Dave and Gary at Soundside Studios

I have recently been working with John Golden on arranging and recording John's new song "The Fate of the Ariosto" about an interesting and tragic shipwreck that happened off the coast of Ocracoke in the last century. It's a terrific song with a twist that actually ties in to Fiddler Dave's family history (and it's true!). Look for it to be released on a Soundside Records CD later this year.

Many of you have enjoyed seeing the Green Grass Cloggers dance at the Ocrafolk Festival every year, but you may not realize that one of their members, Chad Smith, is a wonderful pianist. I've recently done some mastering for Chad on a new original composition of his entitled "The Last Day". It's quite beautiful, and I hope to hear more soon!

Joe Godbout came in to the studio last week with his cousin Michele from Montreal to record 4 new songs of his. Every summer Joe comes to Ocracoke with a giant contingent of family (40 or more!) and he usually has some new songs he has written about some of his clan. He likes to record those and give for Christmas gifts, etc., and I'm sure the family loves them (although he sometimes writes about someone embarrassing themselves, so watch out)!

If you are interested in finding more information out about Soundside Studios, find Gary's contact page at the Soundside Records website.

Molasses Creek's Marcy Brenner . . . A Sassy Lady!

A professional storyteller, Lou Ann’s delivery is funny and irreverent, she likes to share her
personal, all-true tales of travel and adventure. Lately, she's been working on stories with such universal themes as skinny-dipping, camping in yurts, and nude Bingo. But where to tell them? At a late night show, of course!

She asked Sundae and Marcy to join her and embellish the storytelling with some musical interludes. They jumped at the chance to perform songs they'd loved for a long time -- songs that were waiting in the wings for the right venue and the right audience. Drawing on a long tradition of sassy songs, Sundae and Marcy found a bawdy Irish ballad, a funny folk tune, a sultry song, a country classic, and a girly pop song with the catchiest chorus you don't want to be caught singing aloud.

Flourishing Figs!
by Fiddler Dave Tweedie


Baby fig trees for sale at the Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum

Every part of the world has a natural bounty. When I'm working in my garden here on Ocracoke Island I often dream of a bountiful blueberry bush, corn, a closer proximity to a dairy farm so that I can make cheese, a larger than 20x20 raised bed, the list goes on. . . . But come late July and early August I'm happy to stay put because that is fig season. On Ocracoke, there are about a dozen different types of fig trees with exotic names such as blue, lemon, pound, sugar, celeste, brown turkey, & yellow. This year, the Ocrafolk Festival image featured the fig and the back of the T-shirt contained a fig cake recipe compiled by Ocracoke chef extraordinaire Debbie Wells.

Fig trees are found in every little niche and cranny of the 2 mile square Ocracoke village. Early in Ocracoke's settlement, island residents recognized that fig trees loved the moist coastal environment, endured the occasional saltwater flooding, and in the height of summer produced so prolifically that they were cause for celebration. Island legend says that a fig tree will only flourish next to a house that is lived in because it likes the company. This is true, although more so for the dishwater and clam shells that are tossed at its roots than for any social reason.



The fig is an odd looking little fruit and is about as far from a Newton (and much better tasting) as a fresh steak is from year old beef jerky. Figs are juicy, succulent, and sweetly refreshing. They are perfect to grab right off the tree for a snack as you swing by mowing the lawn. This week, my wife and mother-in-law have been frequenting a neighbor's tree (with permission of course), and have walked away every three days with about 8 pounds of figs each time.

One partnership that the fig tree does require to produce fruit is one with the fig wasp. Each species of fig has a one to one relationship with a type of small wasp. If you are squeemish about the idea of eating microscopic bugs and want to continue eating figs in peace . . . don't read the rest of this article.

The tiny female wasp pollinates the fruit by pushing herself inside the green figs. The fit is so tight that the entrance rips her wings off. As she pushes into this "flower" she pollinates it with pollen that she brought with her from her birth fig. She lays her eggs inside the "flower" and dies. When the tree detects the presence of the eggs it surrounds eggs with tissue which then becomes food for the newly hatching larva. Males hatch first and after mating with the females they enlarge holes in the fig so that the females can exit without losing their wings. And then the whole process starts again, and we get the figs (For more information visit http://cloudbridge.org/fig-wasp.htm).

Start with Fig Preserves

Figs boiling away on the stove

First you need Fig Preserves. You can either purchase some (contact the Village Craftsmen through their website at www.villagecraftsmen.com or give them a call at 252-928-5541) or make your own. If starting from scratch, use 6 lbs of figs (stems cut off), 4 cups of sugar, two lemons cut into quartered slices and de-seeded. Boil them 4-6 hours on low, making sure that your stir often enough to prevent the sugary mix from adhering to the bottom of the pan and scorching. Once the mixture has cooked down, you can can them in a water bath as you would other fruit preserves. Some folks like the figs chopped up . . . in most cases the figs break down a bit during the boil.


After some time, the figs break down . . .now you need to boil off some liquid

Fig Cake Recipe

3 large eggs
1 1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups of flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground allspice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. buttermilk
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
2 cups of fig preserves chopped

Grease and flour one large tube or bundt pan
Preheat oven to 350

In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and foamy. Add sugar and beat until pale, add oil slowly and beat another minute. Sift together flour, spices, salt and soda. Add to eggs alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Stir in figs, nuts and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan and place in preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until cake tests done with a toothpick. Cool in pan for 20 minutes then invert onto a rack and cool completely. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy.



Thanks to Debbie Wells and the Ocrafolk Festival for sharing this recipe!

Molasses Creek Wraps Up Tour, Prepares for Ocrafolk Festival!

Molasses Creek at the USS Constitution in Boston
(Isn't this near where they threw the molasses in the harbor?)

Howdy there fans!

When last we blogged, we were heading for a performance at the Skinny Pancake in Burlington, VT. On Friday, we traveled down to Randolph, VT for a concert at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Springtime brought out grateful residents and friends, rubbing their eyes as if emerging from a long winter’s nap. Fiddler Dave was delighted to see his friends Andy Stewart and MJ Slattery who he met and fiddled with in the Shetland Islands way back in 1994.

What a Cilley Bridge!

The Molasses Creek visited with friends and fellow artists Barb & Scott, and George & Jacquline (frying pan returned!). Every fall this crew comes down to Ocracoke for a visit. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast!

From Vermont, the MC tour van traveled to Dublin, NH for a Saturday performance at DelRosis’s Trattoria, and then landed in the evening at Put and Nannie Brown’s house in West Granby, CT. Molasses Creek first met Put and Nannie through Donald and Merle Davis on Ocracoke Island. Fiddler Dave wrote them an anniversary waltz entitled “Old Leather Waltz” on his Brothers from Another Time Cd. The Browns had lined up a fundraiser performance for the Granby Land Trust at the South Congregational Church (thank you Denny!). The evening featured a chili and cornbread dinner and a warm and enthusiastic audience!

At the Granby Land Trust Concert

The followed days, our crew enjoyed the generosity hospitality, stories, and nature walks with Put and Nannie before heading Boston direction.

In Put Brown's garage!

In Boston, we were welcomed by David’s cousin Janet and her husband Mike and daughters Hannah and Madeline. We spent Wednesday and Thursday seeing some sights of the big city (Harvard, MIT Museum, Freedom Trail, USS Constitution, Cheers Bar, Beacon Hill), and then dashed to Norwich, CT on Friday for a concert with the Chelsea Players hosted at the United Congregational Church.

Old North Church in Boston . . . one if by land, two if by sea!

Treasures in Little Italy in Boston

Of course, Molasses Creek went to Harvard!

Returning to the Boston region on Saturday for a concert at the Amazing Things Arts Center in Framingham, we were delighted to have in the audience Ocracoke resident, Susan Dodd, Ocrafolkie Rick Lee, David’s college roommate Chris Hass (and wife Katherine), and all the Tweedie relatives. Thanks so much to Michael Moran for hosting us for another enjoyable performance!

On Sunday, we wrapped up the tour in Pomfret, CT at the Vanilla Bean Restaurant. Ocracoke friend, Tom Pahl, helped line up another great visit to this picturesque town. Thanks to our gracious hosts Howie Bursen and Sally Rogers (and their daughter Maya) for again rolling out the welcome mat!

Louie's backpack finally gets the best of him!

After all all night drive down the eastern seaboard, Molasses Creek landed on Ocracoke Island via the 2 o’clock Hatteras Ferry. A day of rest and we were back into the studio to wrap up tracks for the new Molasses Creek album, Catharsis. The remainder of the week was spent preparing for the Easter Ocrafolk Festival Fundraising Concert on Saturday at the Ocracoke Community Center. In addition to Molasses Creek, this concert featured performances by Donald Davis, Capt. Rob Temple and Sundae Horn, and Aaron Caswell. The evening raised over $1700 in support of the Ocrafolk Festival 2011! Thanks to all the performers, bakers, and volunteers who help make the evening such a wonderful success.

Heading up pretty quick on our calendar we have a Molasses Creek tour wrapup concert at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May 4 at Deepwater Theater to benefit the Ocracoke Preservation Society. May 19-21 Molasses Creek will attend the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference in Montreat, NC, and then all eyes (and ears and muscles) will be focused on producing this year’s Ocrafolk Festival, to be held in Ocracoke Village on June 3-5. The summer is almost here! Whew!

Molasses Creek would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of the Tour Sponsors who pledged to help make our Northeast Tour possible. In addition, we would like to thank all of the friends and family who helped house and feed the band, produce the concerts, and corral their friends to fill the audiences along the way. The life of a touring artists is a lot of hard work, and it wouldn’t be possible without your help and support. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR DREAMS!
