Watchhouse – Special Duo Set

Westerly Sound Presents | Watchhouse – Special Duo Set Opening Performance by Jordan Tice. Over a year after Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz of Watchhouse (formerly known as MandolinOrange) reintroduced themselves on their 2021 self-titled LP, the pair shared a special surprise release: Watchhouse (Duo), a self-produced recording of Marlin and Frantz performing the most elemental possible arrangements of all nine songs from Watchhouse. It’s a project that captures the fundamental power of Watchhouse: Two singers and musicians with profound chemistry, performing earnest yet masterfully crafted songs that encompass the unknowable mysteries, existential heartbreak, and communal joys of modern life. Jordan Tice’s witty, well-crafted songs are delivered with deft fingerstyle and flatpick guitar playing. Tice has worked with many other artists in the folk/bluegrass genre such as Dave Rawlings, Andrew Marlin (Mandolin Orange), Yola, Tony Trischka, and comedian Steve Martin.
