Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer on tour in January

Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer will spend two weeks touring together in mid-January, 2007. The tour will take them primarily through the southern and central parts of the US, from 1/13-1/28.

Thile has long been known as a startlingly gifted young mandolinist, and Meyer has won the respect and admiration of critics and musicians in both the classical and new acoustic fields as a bassist with few peers. They will perform in a duet format, almost surely featuring a free form, improvisational set.

Look for the tour dates on Chris’ MySpace page.

If their past tour was any indication, the concert will mainly feature highly technical composed pieces, and hardly any improvisation. Should be a great show anyway!
