(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.

Well I try to close my eyes
Clear my mind
Just listen to the wildflowers grow
Such whispers on the breeze
Don't come easy now
Over all this noise
Spent my youth among the pines
They used to sing a tune so fine
And the wind moved like an echo
Carrying their voices
And I saw it in a dream
Monuments to trees
As the air we breathe turned our lungs to dust
And the redwoods so tall
And all their awe
Began to rust
With no bend and sway at all
That ancient dance is lost
And the wind moved like an echo
With a sigh in every gust
Well some day I hope to find
That land of honey wine
Where the coffee grows on the white oak trees
And those sugar coated mountains
In the spring begin to melt into
Sweetest streams
Where each night the starlight and the sea
Together form eternity
And the wind moves like an echo
As the world drops off to sleep

Andrew is one of the finest lyricists out there. So much depth. And the music and harmonies...well, that just butters my biscuits!

@Micah McNeil saying guys perpetuates gender bias and reinforces the idea of a male-centric society
Troy Taylor
The scene where you break off into the solo and the doves fly to sit and look down is quite lovely! Beautiful song!
