American Acoustic: Punch Brothers and Watchhouse
Featuring Sarah Jarosz
Punch Brothers
https://www.punchbrothers.com
Punch Brothers are mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny, and violinist Gabe Witcher. Their accolades include a Grammy for best folk album for their 2018 release All Ashore, and praise from the media, including the Washington Post, which said, "With enthusiasm and experimentation, Punch Brothers take bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage, drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart."
In November of 2020, when the world felt so full of uncertainty, Punch Brothers did one thing that they could rely on: they stood in a circle, facing one another, and made music together. A weeklong recording session, after quarantining and little rehearsal outside of a few Zoom calls, had culminated in their new record, Hell on Church Street--a reimagining of Bluegrass great Tony Rice's landmark album, Church Street Blues--out on Nonesuch in January 2022.
Watchhouse

During the last year, most of us have been told that the most helpful thing we can do is stay home and out of the way, protecting others by doing as little as possible. For some, that rare respite has offered the chance to reflect on what is important and to reimagine what is possible. That has been the case for Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz, the couple known for more than a decade now as Mandolin Orange. In 2020, they raised their toddler. They recorded their most audacious album yet. And they decided it was finally time to change their name--to Watchhouse, an identity that reflects their true intentions.
"Mandolin Orange was born out of my 21-year-old mind. The name isn't what I strive for when I write, because it doesn't match what I picture when I invite people into my songs, new or old," admits Marlin. "We have long been burdened by the dichotomy between our band name and the music we strive to create--if you've heard the songs, you know they are personal. Now that we can see a future where music is a shared experience again, we're defining the space we share."
