Show notes

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!!
