Decatur Metro | March 26, 2009 | 11:30 am
This is one big, fat get for Decatur CD.
Tomorrow at 1pm, the mandolin player of his generation, Chris Thile, and The Punch Brothers will perform a free set at Decatur CD. They will also be performing at Variety Playhouse tomorrow evening.
All the details you need are here.
After the jump, watch the Punch Brothers play with Thile’s “Song for a Young Queen”, originally performed by Thile and the Watson siblings (aka Nickel Creek).
Wow! Chris Thile is amazing. Awesome tip. Thanks.
I’m a long time fan of Nickel Creek and fondly remember seeing Mr. Thile in his younger days at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas and many times since. It’s great that he’s gracing Decatur with a visit.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to get away from work, but my wife is going to try and make it.
Anyone have a report?
It was a lot of fun. I took my daughter out of school for it. (Shhh, don’t tell her teacher.) Nice crowd for a rainy Friday at 1:00.
They played five or six songs, including three from their new album. The highlight for me was their newly worked up cover of Radiohead’s “Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box.” They stayed to sign stuff afterward.
Awesome, thanks for the report Judd. Wish I could have been there.
