Additional Information
Formed in 2006, Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile is composed of five young and fiercely talented musicians. The band has captured the attention of music lovers with their unique mixture of bluegrass, jazz and classical music. The resumes of the members of Punch Brothers are formidable. Mandolin player Chris Thile was a member of the Grammy Award–winning Nickel Creek. Guitarist Chris Eldridge was a founding member of the Infamous Stringdusters; bassist Paul Kowert joined the group this fall, and studied at The Curtis Institute of Music with Edgar Meyer; banjo player Noam Pikelny has performed and recorded as a solo artist and has collaborated with acoustic music heavyweights John Cowan and Tony Trischka; and violinist Gabe Witcher has recorded with a range of artists from Willie Nelson to Beck and played in dobro master Jerry Douglas’ band for six years. These youthful, prodigiously gifted band-mates are among the most in-demand performers in the worlds of bluegrass, folk, and traditional music.
