Music at The Mansion: Mandolin Orange

Formed in 2009 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina around the talents of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Marlin and violinist/guitarist Emily Frantz, Mandolin Orange draw from wells both old and new, offering up a heady mix of bluegrass, gospel, folk, country, and pop that invokes the earthy timelessness (and effortless harmonies) of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, the sweet unpredictability of Nickel Creek, and the rich, gothic Americana of the Civil Wars. Mandolin Orange originally performed and recorded as a duo on 2013's This Side of Jordan and 2015's Such Jubilee, but they expanded to a full band with 2016's Blindfaller, adding richer dynamics to their songs without spoiling their evocative Appalachian sound.

They now call themselves Watchhouse
