World Cafe Playlist for 09/18/2025
Watchhouse joins host Stephen Kallao
When the husband-and-wife duo of Andrew Marlin and Emily Franz decided to change their band name from Mandolin Orange to Watchhouse, they did not know what kind of response they might get from their audience, but knew it was the right choice. 4 years later, the band has just released their second album under the new name and have received much support from their friends and fans. On the World Cafe, Andrew and Emily discuss making that change, and Watchhouse performs live.
