Watchhouse and Support

One of Americana and folk music’s most acclaimed acts arrives in Glasgow for a truly special evening at the Pavilion. The duo Watchhouse (Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz, formerly known as Mandolin Orange) is celebrated for its pristine acoustic picking, soaring harmonies, and profound, intimate songwriting.

Blending traditional American roots music with touches of bluegrass and expansive indie-folk, Watchhouse’s sound is defined by the effortless chemistry of its married members. Marlin’s evocative, personal lyrics are perfectly complemented by Frantz’s sublime violin and harmony vocals, creating songs that are tender, honest, and quietly brilliant.

From wistful ballads to subtly rhythmic folk meditations, their performance is an immersive experience that redefines contemporary roots music. Don’t miss this chance to witness a masterclass in American songcraft from a duo whose music offers both solace and reflection.
