- Mandolin Orange are a band of extremes. Musically, the North Carolina duo produce music that is pure and calming. Lyrically, their topics take a stand on human rights, environment and other pieces plucked from today's news. Andrew Marlin (guitar) met Emily Frantz (fiddle) in 2009 at a bluegrass jam in Durham, NC. Andrew had played guitar since he was fourteen, Emily has been in various bluegass bands around North Carolina. The duo came to Alternate Root TV studios in Boston in May to record The Extended Play Sessions.
Mandolin Orange added players for 'This Side of Jordan,' their label debut album for North Carolina based Yep Roc records. The album was recorded at the Fideltorium in Kernersville, North Carolina with bassist Jeff Crawford and a backing band, Religious faith and fable thread throughout the record with Biblical references that Emily Frantz sees as a way to "convey a different point. In the south especially, we hear the Bible construed in any and every way to justify people's comforts and discomforts. Here band mate, and group lyricist , Andrew Marlin added, "and it's so frustrating to watch those stories be used to limit people's happiness." This sentiment inspired "Hey Adam," where Marlin and Frantz urge in unison during the chorus, "Our Father loves you all ways." - เพลง
I have followed these young people for soooo long. They constantly challenge me too new ideas and stirring melodies. I doubt I’ll be around to see their career reach it’s pinnacle (I’m 80 now) but I love what they’re doing today.
These two are so talented. I am blown away by the beauty of their harmonies and their musicianship.
I haven't smiled about music in a LONG TIME. These guys are the real deal....Really enjoy their music. Very cloud watching mellow with great lyrics......and the tunes...and blend. Please come to Wisconsin........
Talented then, talented now. My favourite band....by far.
This really does show me how different my worldview is from theirs-though I don’t listen to their music for anything Christian etc, it is still interesting how much I can disagree with them and still listen. In my opinion it doesn’t get in the way of their music, perhaps only because I love their music so much.
What a gift we have in these two. ...
Excellent as always! Such enjoyable music and personalities. God bless all from Patrick
Andrew’s voice is pure treacle and th whole band just builds magic around him. Wonderful.
One of my all time favorite bands. They are just amazing.
and now i love you guys even more.. :-) been listening to you guys for weeks while my partner and i work on an old house together restoring it... been together 27 years..... i can see the love and admiration between the two of you... such harmony in music and in life ... you bring such joy to everyone who comes across your wonderful music and lyrics... thank you so much for sharing this with us.. im a mandolin orange fan for life.... :-)
Love these guys. It's all about the song. I can't wait to see them play live, and hear the next album..... Ramcey in Nashville
I only know these folks though music videos. Really enjoy hearing and seeing the feeling that they put into each song.
You have become my favorite group. We can't wait to see you live in April.
Thank You Alternate Root! What a Wonderful piece on my favorite duo - from a Long time M.O. fan. Their sincerity and deepness along with the harmonies make for beautiful music!
So pleased they're coming to the UK. Hopefully will be seeing them in Cardiff. May 2016. Great sound.
My favorite band by far got all four of their albums, hope since the got a deal with yep that things will take off for them. Would love to see them hit the big time they deserve it so much.

Sweet Mandolin Orange
That’s so pretty I love the Mandalorian
🥲🦌🙏
Love these guys. It’s sad these days that people have to be apologetic for their Christian beliefs no matter the depth
Here’s the issue I see. Marriage has a religious connotation to it. They should have just called gay marriage as a civil union or something and few people would have cared. Look at Idaho when a preacher got sued for not wanting to preside over two gay people getting married. Like sure love is love and whoever wants to be sexually engaged with another adult should be allowed to do so.
What irks me is the hypocrisy of the lgbtq community. 75% of the gay people I talked to told me they didn’t believe that polygamy deserved equal rights as gay marriage. Like here’s gay people saying they deserve the same treatment as heterosexuals but then in the same breath saying they’re better then others. Like the the US Supreme Court judge said it right in the gay marriage court case when he said gay marriage is essentially opening the door to let any consenting adults get married. If four lawyers wanted to get married together then those four people should be allowed to get married. That’s what irks me. Gay marriage should be legal, but so shouldn’t polygamy, polyamory, bigamy, etc. everything should be legal as long as it’s between consenting adults. The hypocrisy of the US and the lgbtq community is just shocking.
Think of it this way. Few people today would care if the president of the US had a gay marriage. But imagine if the president of the US had ten wives people would lose their shit or marbles and go nuts. Socially and politically gay marriage is promoted the crap out of and all other forms of love is spat on.
'bout to turn onto this group, but once i heard "born out of a political moment"...
So all of the music from the 60 and 70s are garbage. A political moment has shaped most of music we listen to......at least the music worth listening to.
@@ronbrown2016 beg to differ, ron -"all of music from 60 and 70s" NOT "garbage"!
@@dosanchoas So, what is the problem with this group that they we're born out of a political moment? What Ron is saying that a lot of '60 and '70 music is born out of a political moment.
@@chaoss5 same reason i order from the a la carte menu. if i wanted a side of politics...
For this reason shall a man leave his mother and his father and CLEAVE ONLY unto his WIFE. So... if folks want to call the other thing "Marriage". Then maybe we should just call the biblical union "CLEAVAGE" ???
Maybe we should be more enlightened than to need special names and labels with which to feed our egos.
And your super-authority on this is? I assume "biblical". You must know that the choice and provenance of the various books there is lost in time, except that MEN wrote and repetitively translated it. So, who really knows/cares? Bye.
love is love but the marriage is created for men and women basically, other then that why they took the name for which it is not created , wouldn't there other name for there lifestyle ?
+Yonatan Solomon Is that all you can think of when listening to this wonderful music? Why on earth do you concern yourself about where other people find love?
+Jon Mars well said
Yonatan, you should relax a little and just enjoy the music. Stop with the gay bashing. Love who you love, I say.
Their advocacy for homosexual marriage just lost them a fan. Goodbye.
Good. Who need some sad people as a fan? People who can't accept that people love eachother.
What business of yours is it who someone marries.....Im a 62 year old man who's been married to the same woman for 35 years....something wrong with that too?
Good riddance
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
