Martin Garrish
Since he was a teenager, Ocracoke Heritage award winner Martin Garrish has been at the heart of the music scene here on the island, fronting bands such as "The Ocracoke Rockers", "The Graveyard Band Revived", and his acoustic ensemble Martin and Friends". His exceptional guitar playing and rich voice covers everything from acoustic folk and bluegrass to hard rock, classic country and blues.
Dallas Mason
Ocracoke's Dallas Mason, now age 11, is 'off the charts' (to quote Martin Garrish). Establishing himself as the drummer for the Ocracoke Rockers, Dallas picked up the guitar two years ago, and has been soaking up everything that Martin can throw his way. Catch this youngster locally while you still can!
