Music · Chris Thile, Claire Coffee, Punch Brothers
by Chris Thile, Claire Coffee, Punch Brothers
It’s time to unplug with the Grammy-winning Punch Brothers, fronted by singer-mandolinist Chris Thile, as they bring you a multi-episode musical variety show with dazzling musical guests, like Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell, Jon Batiste, Norah Jones, James Taylor and many more. We join them in the near future when diminishing resources and extreme weather have ushered in a worldwide effort to ration electricity. America has instituted a weekly “energy curfew” where the power grid goes down completely and we all live electricity-free for 24 hours. The Energy Curfew Music Hour hits the airwaves an hour before the lights go out while the nation tunes in and turns off together before the Dark Day. Recorded live in front of an audience, revel in the wild and wonderful joy unleashed in these one-night-only performances. Chris Thile and Punch Brothers help you wind down before you power down. Happy Dark Day, y’all.

Been hoping Chris Thile would make another music hour like this happen! So grateful he and the rest of the incredible crew did. What a treat to feel like you’re in a living room sharing music with people. A perfect listen to make dinner and unwind during.
Episode 1 brought tears to my eyes for memories of Live From Here, and Prairie Home Companion. (I still love the heck out of PHC, there I said it). I can’t wait to hear all eight episodes. I’m saving them for Sunday nights, 8pm. They will be savored. These shows have turned me on to so many fantastic musicians.
Chris was amazing in PHC and later named Live From Here. Both shows that brought me incredible joy! And now I have that joy again!!! These shows are the perfect campfire companion and many other moments in life where you just need some beautiful music in the background. What Chris understands is when amazing musicians collaborate, amazing things happen, sparks fly and moments are made. Thanks Chris for bringing this format back!!
Like, do you know me personally and do things just to delight li’l ol’ me? It’s all the fun live music from Live From Here with cute little sketches that have just a dash of dark, surreal humor. Very Prairie Home Companion meets Welcome to Nightvale. And as a HUGE Brittany Haas fan (both just her and Hawktail) it’s amazing to hear her playing with The Punch Brothers. She’s an amazing addition to the band and makes me so incredibly happy. I don’t get a lot of progressive bluegrass podcasts, so please make as many of these as you can. PS Noam Pikelny is a very funny man.
