Chris Thile released the first of five solo albums when he was just 13. 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. A Washington Post critic recently said Thile "may well be the most
virtuosic American ever to play the mandolin." With his new band Punch
Brothers, Thile joins four of his musical buddies to form a formidable super
group who are among the most in-demand performers in the worlds of
bluegrass, folk and traditional music–Chris Eldridge on guitar, Greg
Garrison on bass, Noam Pikelny on banjo and Gabe Witcher on fiddle.
