On Friday, August 23, Mandolin Orange will play an album release show at the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC. This hometown show will commemorate the release of their album This Side of Jordan, out  August 20.

Fans will have the option of purchasing a CD or LP version of the album at a discounted price when purchasing an advanced ticket; the physical copies of the new record will be available for pick-up at the Cat’s Cradle on the night of the show. In addition, the night will start out with a pre-concert jam session, hosted by Big Fat Gap and modeled after the Armadillo Bluegrass Jam in Carrboro where Andrew and Emily first met. Ticket holders are invited to come out early and enjoy casual music, beer and free catering (until 8pm and/or while supplies last). The jam will take place from 6:30-8ish; doors will open at 6:30 pm. The event will be sponsored by Carolina Brewery, Carrboro Coffee Roasters and Fifth Season Gardening Company. Purchase your tickets HERE.
