PUNCH BROTHERS featuring CHRIS THILE

The line-up of Punch Brothers—whose name is taken from the Mark Twain short story, Punch, Brothers, Punch!—is formidable. Thile released the first of five solo albums when he was just thirteen and, by the time he was 20, he was attracting a following among pop, country, and alternative-rock audiences as a member of the Grammy Award–winning Nickel Creek.  His equally youthful, prodigiously gifted band-mates are among the most in-demand performers in the worlds of bluegrass, folk, and traditional music.  Within a year of their formation, Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile are already playing to sold-out crowds across the US – capturing the attention of music lovers of all kinds, from bluegrass to classical, veteran to novice.

“Expands the frontier of an emerging style of what might be called American country-classical chamber music.”
