Music for a Friday evening

Ocrafolk Festival Winter Concert Series Presents
Mandolin Orange in Concert, 7:30 PM, Friday, March 4, at the Deepwater Theater
Admission at door: $10 Adults, $5 Kids

Mandolin Orange will be coming to the Ocracoke Community on Friday, March 4 for performances for the students of Ocracoke School and a 7:30 PM evening concert at Deepwater Theater. Audience favorites from the Ocrafolk Festival, Mandolin Orange is a duo driven by Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz, with songwriting & vocal harmonies at the core. The duo ornaments lyrical tunes both tender and tough with acoustic & electric guitars, fiddle, and of course mandolin. The debut album "Quiet Little Room" released May 1 to critical acclaim, and reflects the influence of traditional music on the duo's contemporary folk style.

The Mandolin Orange concerts are part of the Ocrafolk Festival Winter Concert Series, made possible by the Ocrafolk Festival in partnership with the Beaufort County Art Council, the North Carolina Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and local sponsors (Peter Vankevich, DJ & Sue Jones, Skill Sense, Island Free Press, Books to Be Red, Robin Turner, Anchorage Inn, Bobby Rondthaler, Beverly & Leonard Meeker, David and Susan Schwarz Jones, and Creekside Cafe).
The Ocrafolk Festival is housed under the Ocracoke Preservation Society, a not-for-profit 501(c)3.
