Mandolin Orange will be playing a concert here this weekend. If you haven't seen them here previously (they were at the 2009 Ocrafolk Festival, and also did an outdoor show last fall), I highly recommend catching this performance. They are excellent! Here are a few more details from the email I received about this today, including a link where you can listen to some samples.
MANDOLIN ORANGE
in concert at Deepwater Theater & Music Hall
Saturday, Feb. 27th at 7:00pm
Doors open at 6:30
This is a free concert made possible with support from Ocrafolk
Festival Outreach, Ocracoke Arts Council, Beaufort County Arts
Council, North Carolina Arts Council and the National Endowment for
the Arts.
Here is a bit from their website:
An all-around original folk duo. Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz pair
guitar, violin and mandolin to compliment alluring lyrics and seamless
harmonies. “The duo’s voices and instruments fit alongside each other
like Johnny and June Carter Cash … Mandolin Orange embodies the same
backwoods lovebirds aesthetic” (DailyTarHeel). Their debut album,
releasing in Spring 2010, reflects both the influence of traditional
music on their contemporary style and the simplified, authentic
recordings which make up the compilation. Their influences range from
Cole Porter to Doris Day to Townes Van Zandt, but their sound is
something charming and all its own.
