Friday Music: Punch Brothers

From a broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion earlier this year, when Chris Thile was the guest host, the Punch Brothers sing My Oh My and Boll Weevil.

The Punch Brothers are: Chris Thile (mandolin), Gabe Witcher (fiddle/violin), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Eldridge (guitar), and Paul Kowert (bass).  A virtuoso mandolin player, Thile also plays with Nickel Creek (a band started by his family when he was 8) and has collaborated with many artists, from Yo-Yo Ma to the Dixie Chicks. He also was a MacArthur Fellow (i.e., recipient of a genius grant) in 2012.

Happy Friday!
