Watchhouse have paid their dues – starting over a decade ago playing coffee shops and local restaurants around North Carolina they have now released their latest album ‘Rituals‘, their first in four years. From the small beginnings they have now got to the point where 2025 will see them tour across the US, including dates supporting the Avett Brothers and festival slots at MerleFest, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots and Iron Blossom Music Festival. Their headline US tour in support of the new album kicks off June 14th at the Palace Theater in Saint Paul, MN before stops in Chicago, Seattle, NYC, Boston, Nashville, Atlanta and more.
‘All Around You‘ is the lead single from the album and features, to great effect, the duo’s harmonies and lo-fi folk sound it wrestles with feelings of having lost a safe place, and wondering where that new physical space will be whilst slowly coming to the conclusion that it’s the people that surround you rather than the walls that box you in that define home.
