Chris Thile Polymath on a Mandolin
Chris Thile arrives in Triskel today. Its a show by an artist I have been watching from afar for some time now so it’s nice a live show is finally here…
Chris was in Nickel Creek and has since gone on to create a body of work that while it’s heart is bluegrass on mandolin (yes, he is the virtuoso of that instrument) he has a musical breadth and vision that is stunning. Suites of music with The Punch Brothers, commissioned Mandolin Concertos, new duo with Brad Mehldau and a hardcore bluegrass album with Michael Daves to name a few things…
His show in Whelans last night was the stuff of legend… So two videos and two sides of Chris Thile to whet your appetite for tonight
Some Bach with The Punch Brothers…
