Transitioning effortlessly from virtuosic quintet to harmoniously competitive bluegrass fraternity, New York's charismatic Punch Brothers are at the frontier of an emerging form of country-inspired chamber music.
Their instrumental prowess, exquisite ensemble and unerring devotion to the audience experience have won them countless fans in concert halls, live music clubs and cyberspace.
Punch Brothers' inimitable set lists span from Bach and Mozart through tender original songs, chamber suites and traditional bluegrass, to covers of Radiohead, The Beatles, The Strokes and many more.
Unbound by notions of genre, their collaborative, porous approach to music making, results in performances of extraordinary dynamic range, masterful playing and close harmony vocals, laced with breathless emotion and humour.
In Australia for the first time, Punch Brothers features serial collaborator Chris Thile (mandolin and lead vocals), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Gabe Witcher (fiddle), Chris Eldridge (guitar), and Paul Kowert (bass).
