As a member of Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, Chris Thile has won multiple Grammy Awards. As former host of Live From Here, the American Public Radio show to follow the iconic Prairie Home Companion, Thile introduced a wide array of up-and-coming artists to Minnesota and the world. Now Thile is beginning his next endeavor with the New York Philharmonic before setting off on a solo tour of Europe on October 20.
An integral figure in progressive bluegrass music, Thile specializes in mandolin as well as in composing, singing and performing. After his radio variety show, Live From Here, was canceled in the thick of the pandemic, Thile moved to a converted church in Hudson to record what he called “his first truly solo album” in a prolific career, Laysongs.
In NYC next month, Thile will have his first show as Creative Partner with the NY Philharmonic’s 65th Street Session, joined by Brad Mehldau and Tune-Yards. As Creative Partner, Thile will both perform and serve as a curator, calling together artists from across America for performances and collaborations. This role is nothing new for the musician, who has a history of genre-bending that includes playing Bach on Mandolin with Yo Yo Ma, for example.
The Europe tour will start in Estonia and make stops in Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the UK, ending at the National Concert Hall in Dublin. On December 6, Chris Thile will return from his tour to the NY Philharmonic with Punch Brothers, Watchhouse, and Sarah Jarosz. Tickets for all tour dates are available now.
