Bob Vasile and Jane Peppler, as the Pratie Heads, play and sing Irish, Scottish, English, and Early American music for concerts, festivals, and workshops, calling their repertoire “More or Less Traditional Music of the British Isles and beyond.”   Both provide vocals, with Jane on fiddle, concertina and viola, and Bob on guitar and bouzouki.

The duo specializes in British Isles, Celtic, and Colonial American songs and tunes, but also plays original material, a few pieces from Sweden, Finland, Holland, Bulgaria, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, and from Jewish traditions.  Known for their vocal solos and harmonies, and instrumental virtuosity, you’ll enjoy the depth of feeling that goes into their performance.

Come see them on the Village Green on Sunday, July 11th at 7:00pm!

Andrew Marlin is an extremely talented songwriter, originally from Warrenton, NC, and is a true lover of all things music. Armed with an acoustic guitar, Andrew manages to seamlessly transition from one genre to the next, while maintaining his own unique sound. Traditional and modern folk, jazz, bluegrass and R&B all become one through his voice and strings.

In addition to playing solo, Andrew also plays his original tunes with Emily Frantz as the duo Mandolin Orange. The two tour NC and beyond playing their roots music–original acoustic tunes inspired by folk music’s great pickers, performers and storytellers.   Andrew mentions Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Regina Spektor and Eddie Vedder among his many varied influences.
