Music

The Mantras’ music is a high-energy collaborative of jam-fusion and funk-rock that shakes your knees and rattles your toes. Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, the band has been playing to ever-increasing and sold out crowds in their home state, as well as expanding to new markets in the South and North East.

Incognito Mosquito was created in the fall of 2003, when circumstances brought Ansley Wynn, Chad Thompson, Ryan Persaud and William Stone together to play an unrehearsed show for an expecting crowd. Having never played together in the past, the trio instantly found an uncanny chemistry amidst funky rhythms and impressive improvisation. In the years since, Incognito Mosquito has formulated an amazing repertoire of original music that will leave crowds cheering for more. Incog recently welcomed Bryan Holt on organ, piano and synths as the newest member to the band. Hailing from Charlotte NC, Incog is changing the music scene, one dance party at a time!

The Aaron Caswell Band-Hailing from two generations of Rockers, this young Ocracoke supergroup is fronted by its equally unaged leader, Aaron Caswell. At 18 years old, Aaron is taking the local Ocracoke music scene by storm with his soulful vocals and fret-shredding guitar work. But the locals know the boy well...after all, he's been playing guitar around the island for almost a decade! This past winter, Aaron decided to form his own group and teamed up with locals Lou Castro (guitar), Jackie Willis (bass), and Bret Evans (drums) to form The Aaron Caswell Band. Specializing in 60's and 70's guitar rock (think Derek and Dominoes, The Allmans, etc.), the group is making fans out of locals and tourists alike.

More Better English-Fronted by lovers Jon Lea (guitar/vocals) and Katy Mitchell (vocals), More Better English provides the islanders with an exceptional brand of folk rock. Anchored by Jon's powerful guitar playing and the sultry sounds of Katy's vocal range, the band can make you laugh AND make you cry. Set to include multiple locals guests, More Better English's performance at the Acoustic Stage promises to be a unique Ocracoke musical experience.
