Summary:

Mandolin virtuoso/prodigy Chris Thile is best known as a key member of the award-winning newgrass band Nickel Creek. His new project, the Punch Brothers, combines the talents of Thile with the hottest young pickers in modern bluegrass. Together they produce a fresh, cutting-edge sound that seamlessly blends bluegrass traditions with breathtaking innovation. As the San Francisco Chronicle notes, “Why didn’t someone think about mixing bluegrass, jazz and classical music together sooner? Chris Thile is doing it and the result is totally mind-blowing.”

“They bring new life and energy to bluegrass.”—Rolling Stone
