Marmalade. Since their formation in 2014, the five-piece string band has been fusing diverse
musical backgrounds into a sound that bursts at the seams with energy, exuding a pure joy for
creating music. Providing a window to the future of bluegrass while keeping the flavor of
Americana and Rock n’ Roll alive, Mamma’s honest lyrics and warm, acoustic tones invite
listeners back to a time when wooden instruments and sweet vocal harmonies captivated the
hearts of America. Experimenting with intricate instrumentals and lively originals, their music
brings the genre to new and unexpected places. More info about the band can be found at
