(Formerly) Mandolin Orange is a folk duo based out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The group was formed in 2009 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and consists of the group's songwriter Andrew Marlin (vocals, mandolin, guitar, banjo) and Emily Frantz (vocals, violin, guitar). Mandolin Orange has produced six albums of Marlin's original works of American roots music.
Mandolin Orange’s music radiates a mysterious warmth —their songs feel like whispered secrets, one hand cupped to your ear. The North Carolina duo have built a steady and growing fanbase with this kind of intimacy, and on Tides of A Teardrop, due out February 1, it is more potent than ever. By all accounts, it is the duo’s fullest, richest, and most personal effort. You can hear the air between them—the taut space of shared understanding, as palpable as a magnetic field, that makes their music sound like two halves of an endlessly completing thought. Singer-songwriter Andrew Marlin and multi-instrumentalist Emily Frantz have honed this lamp glow intimacy for years.
In the last three years, the group has toured throughout the U.S and Europe, including appearances at Austin City Limits, South by Southwest, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Rooster Walk, and MerleFest and the Omagh Bluegrass Festival. Mandolin Orange was the featured artist on CBS This Morning's Saturday Morning Sessions on December 7, 2019.
They signed to Yep Roc Records in 2013 and have produced four albums under their umbrella, This Side Of Jordan, Such Jubilee, Blindfaller and Tides of a Teardrop.

Blue Ruin One morning after drinking heavy in the night Every inch of…
Daylight Daylight had spoken So clear and so plain. I'm the keeper of…
From Now On Don't wanna live out on the road just wanna be right…
Jump Mountain Blues Every little thing you do is a small reminder Now all…
Little Worlds I watch the waves from the mountain tops And the rock…
Of Which There Is No Like Every nights just like the last And those summer rains keep…
Old Ties and Companions Old man give me endless time Never let these ties sever It's…
Rounder I'm just a lonesome old rounder Never meant to hurt no…
Settled Down These excuses are useless, we've run aground again. Anothe…
That Wrecking Ball I've taken to leaning these past few days A little too…
