Andrew Marlin is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Chapel Hill, NC. His latest solo record, Phthalo Blue, is out now! The album features all original music by Andrew, recorded around one mic at The Tractor Shed in Goodlettsville, TN. In addition to Marlin on mandolin, the music showcases a slew of frequent collaborators including Stephanie Coleman (fiddle), Allison de Groot (banjo), Clint Mullican (bass), Josh Oliver (guitar), and Nat Smith (cello) - engineered by Sean Sullivan. Along with this new release, and his three previous instrumental collections (Fable & Fire, Witching Hour and Buried in a Cape) Marlin has produced six albums of original works of American roots music with Watchhouse, has formed the bluegrass group Mighty Poplar (with collaborators Critter Eldridge, Greg Garrison, Alex Hargreaves and Noam Pikelny) and regularly contributes instrumental performances to other artists and albums. He's recently played mandolin on recordings for Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Plains, Dead Tongues and Phil Cook. Marlin is also an in-demand producer, and has produced albums for artists including Mipso, Kate Rhudy, Rachel Baiman and Ismay. Over the last decade, he has toured with all three of his projects throughout the U.S and Europe and appeared on high profile programs such CBS This Morning's Saturday Morning Sessions, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, and headlined sold-out notable rooms including the Ryman and Red Rocks.
Eamon O’Leary and Jefferson Hamer (aka The Murphy Beds) present traditional and original folk songs with close harmonies and deft instrumental arrangements on bouzouki, guitar, and mandolin. In 2021 they released their second album, titled “Easy Way Down”, which The Irish Echo called “an incredible collection of songs delivered with grace and ease.”
As well as playing with many friends and comrades from the ’trad’ music world they have also performed and collaborated with artists across the folk spectrum including Beth Orton, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Anais Mitchell, and Sam Amidon.
