Originally known as Mandolin Orange, Watchhouse is the North Carolina duo of Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz — two voices that blend with the kind of effortless harmony that only comes from years of making music, and life, together. Their songs draw from the roots of Americana, folk, and bluegrass, with lyrics that explore love, loss, hope, and the quiet complexities of everyday life. Watchhouse has a way of slowing the world down and pulling you into the heart of the moment.
Over the past decade, they’ve gone from playing small rooms to becoming one of the most respected names in modern acoustic music — gracing stages from Red Rocks to Newport Folk Festival, and connecting with audiences not through flash, but through honesty and authenticity.
JAMinc Presents Watchhouse, recorded live at Richmond’s Iron Blossom Music Festival, in September of 2025.
