Thile released the first of five solo albums when he was just thirteen and, 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. The line-up of Punch Brothers-whose name is taken from the Mark Twain short story, Punch, Brothers, Punch!-is formidable. In conjunction with the release of the album, Punch Brothers performed on February 20 at Lincoln Center’s Allen Room as part of the cultural center’s 2008 American Songbook season. The band-composer-singer-mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile’s new venture-includes Chris Eldridge (guitar), Paul Kowert (bass), Noam Pikelny (banjo), and Gabe Witcher (fiddle). Nonesuch Records released Punch, the debut album from Punch Brothers, in February 2008.
