For his next pick of an album that has, “been around awhile” Shane selects Mandolin Orange's 2015 release, “Such Jubilee.” Mandolin Orange (now known as Watchhouse since a name change last year) is an Americana/Folk duo from North Carolina formed in 2009 by husband and wife duo Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz. Shane has special memories with this band seeing them live with his father. Trevor's introduction to the band was their 2019 release which Shane had recommended when Album Divers was in its infancy though never materialized as a deep dive episode. This 2015 release was written by the couple while on the road, but recorded back at home in North Carolina and offers a stripped down aesthetic which allows the listener to absorb lyrics offering little worlds about the importance of savoring the moment in the context of love, loss, and generational connection. This album represents the first revelation by Shane of a trio of albums that he purchased on vinyl for Trevor as a surprise gift. The next two will be revealed to both him and the Album Divers audience in due time. Stay tuned. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ HOW TO CONNECT WITH ALBUM DIVERS: *You can submit your questions or comments about this episode or anything else on your mind here via our text line at: (502) 792-8080 *Leave us an audio message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/AlbumDivers We promise to respond and may even feature your thoughts on a future episode. *Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Album Divers *Email us at Albumdiverspodcast@gmail.com *Please subscribe and review wherever you get your podcasts!
Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Join us for this fascinating conversation with Andrew Marlin of Watchhouse, formerly known as Mandolin Orange, whose latest album entitled "Watchhouse" was released earlier this year. Andrew is a super chill human and this conversation ran really deep as we talked about his profoundly personal songwriting and the cathartic effect it has had on Andrew both in writing his songs but also in putting them out there for fans to hear and experience. His deep and gorgeous voice propels his songs to a seemingly other dimension but that emotional ride has not been easy for Andrew, forcing him to open up while also helping him come to terms with many challenges he has faced in his own life. Andrew and his wife, Emily Frantz, have been on the road for over a decade now and began with open mics and a decidedly DIY operation -- now that hard work on the road has paid off recently with their headlining show at Red Rocks in October of this year. So hop on the Roadcase bus for this illuminating interview with a stellar human, Andrew Marlin of Watchhouse. It's a great ride!!For more information: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comTheme music: "Eugene" (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
We speak with musicians Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz about their new album, "Watchhouse." Watchhouse is also the new name of the duo's band, formerly known as Mandolin Orange. And, former U.S. military interpreter Zamzama Safi speaks with us about her evacuation from Afghanistan on the day Kabul fell. Safi had help from the office of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat of Missouri, and has arrived in the state to start a new life.
Watchhouse played live in WNCW's Studio B and stayed for an interview which ranges from talk about their new moniker to working with producer Josh Kaufman, the Venn diagram of their music which includes The Stanley Brothers, Grateful Dead and Pantera (!), and more.

Andy Thorn has been the banjo player for the Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass Jam Band, Leftover Salmon, for over 10 years. However, he has been preparing nearly his entire life, as he has both loved and dedicated himself to music since he was very young. His positive attitude, eclectic musical background, and vast banjo knowledge has allowed Andy to play in bands with current members of Greensky Bluegrass, Mandolin Orange, The Infamous Stringdusters, Che Apalache and the Jon Stickley Trio, to name a few. Recently Andy put out an EP with his former LOS pianist/keyboardist Erik Deutsch. Deutsch & Thorn's "Tangled Sea," successfully marries the banjo and the piano, and highlights Andy Thorns ability to play banjo in ever changing settings and styles. The album is available at andythornmusic.com, along with other merch, and updates on his music and live performances, so please check it out. Also, please join me as we take a deep dive into Andy's early years, and his serendipitous path to ending up in a band, which he was also a huge fan of growing up. Please stop by livefrombanjo.com, and become a "LFB Band Member" and/or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Thanks!
"Sentimental music has a great way of taking you back somewhere at the same time it takes you forward, so you feel nostalgicand hopeful at the same time."- Nick Hornby Robert Earl Keen speaks live from Railbird Music Festival with Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz of Mandolin Orange about developing setlist from a large catalog, building a community and the future of Americana music.
We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. This time, writer Allison Hussey tells us about a rare recording of the gospel standard 'Fifty Miles of Elbow Room' recorded by Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin of Mandolin Orange with Josh Moore. It's a song that is often associated with The Carter Family, and Hussey says this version exemplifies a blend of the modern folk sound with North Carolina's traditional roots. This song can be found on a compilation called 'Hymns From The Gathering Church,' which is available on Bandcamp . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPQ3fCaGDkk

Tides of A Teardrop is Mandolin Orange's latest release, and we only recently had the opportunity to sit down with them. Their last record, 2016's Blindfaller garnered wild acclaim, and I can tell you that Tides of a Teardrop should eclipse that. It's a deeply personal record, written primarily by Andrew Marlin, with some input from Emily Frantz. Together, the duo make absolutely incredible roots music, beyond the bluegrass label they've been tagged with. This interview is an intimate one with Andrew Marlin. A very intimate behind the scenes conversation with Andrew Marlin. His comments regarding Jeff Austin were so poignant and beautiful too. You can catch Mandolin Orange at several festivals and solo dates throughout the summer. For those details visit mandolinorgange.com.
