It has been three years since Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz of Watchhouse reintroduced themselves on their 2021 self-titled LP. Although the name was new, the essence was the same - 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. Starting over a decade ago playing coffee shops and local restaurants around North Carolina, Watchhouse is a grassroots success story that's been driven by Marlin's poignant songwriting. They’ve sold out iconic venues (Red Rocks, Ryman Auditorium) and attract hundreds of millions of streams while producing exploratory music that "redefines roots music for a younger generation" (Washington Post). The past few years have been filled with many endeavors including headlining shows across the US, abundant peer collaborations, and of course Watchhouse (Duo).
