  • He is from North Carolina and works out of the Chapel Hill and Carrboro scene, playing both upright and electric bass.
  • Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz formed Mandolin Orange in 2009 and renamed the band Watchhouse in 2021; Mullican has been their bassist across that whole arc.
  • The music asks for restraint more than drive — quiet arrangements where the bass is often the only thing keeping time — which is a different job from a bluegrass rhythm section.
  • He plays regularly on Andrew Marlin’s solo and string-band records as well.
  • He appears on the Watchhouse album Rituals (2025).
  • In this catalog he appears on Watchhouse recordings.
