Lobero LIVE presents Watchhouse (fka Mandolin Orange) with Tré Burt on Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 8 PM.
Multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Andrew Marlin and fiddler/vocalist Emily Frantz, formerly known as Mandolin Orange, recently recorded their most audacious album yet and decided it was finally time to change their name — to Watchhouse.
The name represents their reinvention as a band at the regenerative edges of subtly experimental folk rock.
Alongside drummer Joe Westerlund, guitarist Josh Oliver, and bassist Clint Mullican, Andrew and Emily indulged in novel structures and textures.
Their self-titled debut album has gone #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums Chart.
