Asheville, NC this weekend & other news!
Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun
Hey MoJa Friends!
Are y'all settling into summer yet? It's been really nice the past few days in Charlottesville, VA where we reside but a few weeks ago our heat index was definitely in the triple digits! We are busy working on our next studio recording, but we're definitely excited to play a couple of cool festivals this summer (take a look below!).
THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 18th we'll be playing a great concert series just outside of Asheville, NC in the town of Weaverville at Dream Guitars (an awesome guitar shop for all your guitar buffs ;)
Please email Paul (pa...@dreamguitars.com) for tickets & directions, $15 / 7PM
Also in this email we have a wrap up of our recent visit to Ocracoke for our first OcraFolk Festival, a new Podcast from our Alma Mater (Berklee College of Music), and some of newest tour dates.
Also, would you like to see us on a certain festival? Hear us on NPR or Mountain Stage? Read below to find out how you can help!!!
- Ocrafolk Festival, Ocracoke Island, NC
We had a BLAST at our first "Ocrafolk Festival" on Ocracoke Island, NC. Start planning for next year as we think we may have to go again! A GORGEOUS Island with many friendly people. We were also very happy to see our friends, Beleza, The Honey Dewdrops, and The Steel Wheels. Check out some photos from that weekend...

- Berklee College of Music Podcast
We were recently featured on Berklee's Alumni Podcast where they talk a little about our music & they also featured our tune "One Moore Farewell," with fellow graduate & friend, Rashawn Ross
