By the time 2019 came to its fitful end, Andrew Marlin knew he was tired of touring. He was grateful, of course, for the ascendancy of Mandolin Orange, the duo he’d cofounded in North Carolina with fiddler Emily Frantz exactly a decade earlier. With time, they had become new flagbearers of the contemporary folk world, sweetly singing soft songs about the hardest parts of our lives, both as people and as a people. Their rise-particularly crowds that grew first to fill small dives, then the Ryman, then amphitheaters the size of Red Rocks-humbled Emily and Andrew, who became parents to Ruby late in 2018. They’d made a life of this.
Still, every night, Andrew especially was paid to relive a lifetime of grievances and griefs onstage. After 2019’s Tides of a Teardrop, a tender accounting of his mother’s early death, the process became evermore arduous, even exhausting. What’s more, those tunes-and the band’s entire catalogue, really-conflicted with the name Mandolin Orange, an early-20s holdover that never quite comported with the music they made. Nightly soundchecks, at least, provided temporary relief, as the band worked through a batch of guarded but hopeful songs written just after Ruby’s birth. They offered a new way to think about an established act.
Those tunes are now Watchhouse, which would have been Mandolin Orange’s sixth album but is instead their first also under the name Watchhouse, a moniker inspired by Marlin’s place of childhood solace. The name, like the new record itself, represents their reinvention as a band at the regenerative edges of subtly experimental folk-rock. Challenging as they are charming, and an inspired search for personal and political goodness, these nine songs offer welcome lessons about what any of us might become when the night begins to break.
“We’re different people than when we started this band,” Marlin says, reflecting on all these shifts. “We’re setting new intentions, taking control of this thing again.”

Grassroots TV is a small, community access television station. We filmed this set with the help of the fine folks at Steve's Guitars in Carbondale, CO who work on an extremely tight budget themselves. It is next to a miracle that we even have this low-quality recording as I had to put in a lot of work just to get it semi-airable. Be thankful and enjoy for what it is....a stellar band playing in a small mountain town in a very small room! If you enjoy this video please subscribe to our channel. This will help us reach our goal of 1000 subscribers and will allow us, a community non-profit, to monetize our channel and bring you more episodes of Live on Location. Thanks for tuning in!

Well you got your 1000 and then some! Hopefully everything is working out better than you ever thought it would.

27:53 can't get enough of this duo \mandolin orange\Watch house. Take this heart of gold actually inspired me,a drummer of 23 years to buy an acoustic guitar just to "fool around with" that was 1 year ago almost to the if this post. I play on average about 3 hours every single day so far , I was lucky enough to learn the basics very quickly . I'm was playing full tunes in about a week . Now like I said I was a drummer for a loooong time and I still drum . However guitar has become my lead instrument thanks to these two incredible individuals. When I finally watch a video and noticed a few times how they shared a few looks at one another ,k could see two people that were very much in love with each other and the music. It's a testament in my eyes to what it takes to make truly great music , or do whatever it is you're heart desires and to be able to turn dreams to reality. Many Thanks to Mandolin Orange /fka Watchhouse Sincerely David Cardarelli Jr. 5\25\23@2:48 am ;)

That musicianship, that voice, and that personality promise a fulfilled and fruitful future to these two people. Recently I have been listening to lots of classical music in Europe, gradually understanding why it is loved universally. But when I come back to this type of music which I call my home, my place, I still find this music fulfills me instantly and constantly. I am grateful for this beauty, this beat and this being. Its name is music.

[@justinsmith8237]

A small indicator for an acoustic act is how quiet the crowd is during the songs..This crowd was mesmerized!....The dose of pure beauty does the day good and thanks for the share. We are all looking forward to seeing them again in Santa Cruz next month
