Punch Brothers

  • Who they are: bluegrass superstars Chris Thile, Paul Kowert, Chris Eldridge, Noam Pikelny, and Gabe Witcher
  • How they came to be: when Thile’s Grammy-winning band Nickel Creek took an indefinite hiatus in 2007, he brought this dream-team together. Then he won a MacArthur Genius Grant.
  • How they got their name: it comes from a short story by someone called “Mark Twain”
  • So they aren’t actually brothers?: Only in music
  • Essential tracks: “The Blind Leading the Blind,” a 40-minute, four-part suite; the unexpectedly poppy and plaintive “This Girl; the appropriately rollicking “Rye Whiskey”
  • Unexpected track: a cover of Radiohead’s “Kid A”
  • Where you’ve heard them, other than their albums: on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games and, more recently, in the Coen Brothers’ acclaimed film Inside Llewyn Davis
  • Opening act: singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan, who the band calls a “Punch Sister”
  • Check out: the romantic “Red & White & Blue & Gold” from her debut solo album, Fossils<p>
