This folk group from Carrboro stopped by the Our State office to play a few songs from their recently released album, This Side of Jordan.
It’s easy to listen to this soulful music led by the founding duo, Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz. Though the group is only 4 years old, their unique blend of folk, gospel, and blues feels like the music we’ve been listening to for years.
Since their inception, Mandolin Orange has shared bills with Rosanne Cash, Chatham County Line, the Steep Canyon Rangers and Abigail Washburn, and traveled as far as the UK to perform at festivals, including Ulster’s 21st Annual Bluegrass Festival, Shakori Hills Grassroots, and Hopscotch Music Festival.
