Watchhouse

Watchhouse, formerly Mandolin Orange, is an Americana-folk duo formed in 2009 in Chapel Hill, N.C. Featuring Andrew Marlin (vocals, mandolin, guitar, banjo) and Emily Frantz (vocals, violin, guitar), the duo weaves their Appalachian-steeped folk into their earnest songwriting. Watchhouse’s songs capture audiences through the interplay between storytelling and harmony singing.  

Over the past decade, they have released six albums under the name Mandolin Orange, and recently produced their first album as Watchhouse. The latest recording reflects their new direction and intentions as a band and brings the audience along on their journey.

Watchhouse has performed across the United States and Europe, including appearances at Austin City Limits, South by Southwest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and MerleFest.

Alexa Rose

Alexa Rose was born in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, raised in a tiny Appalachian railroad town. The musical legacy and storytelling spirit of the mountains are woven into her voice and songwriting. 

Her debut album, Medicine For Living, is a multi-layered Americana merger of old country music and traditional folk songs. The title track was the winner of the 2019 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. She captures the sweetness of life without avoiding any of the pain, with songs about time and its constraints, peppered with precise details pulled from Rose’s own life that make universal themes seem personal, inviting the listener to make each song their own.
