Punch Brothers fans can check out three live cuts from the guys posted at Daytrotter.com.
There are live versions of Punch Bowl and the first movement of The Blind Leaving The Blind, both tracks from the band’s current CD, Punch. They also cut a version of Wilco’s Poor Places which they have been doing in their live show.
All three are available at Daytrotter for either online streaming or free download.

That's the title of a clever and revealing post published yesterday on the Punch Brothers blog.
The concept is a "fun facts" sort of thing, providing both musical and personal insights that relate to their recent CD, Punch, and its centerpiece, the lengthy, four movement Chris Thile composition,...

We've posted repeatedly about Punch Brothers, the most recent permutation of Chris Thile's supremely talented band of acoustic superpickers.
Their debut release on Nonesuch Records is due on 2/28/08 built around Thile's composition, The Blind Leaving The Blind - a magnum opus by the standards of the...
We posted last week that Punch Brothers would be appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 2/29.
The video from that program will be available online for a few more days. The Tonight Show keeps each full show up for web viewing for a week after it airs, so until Saturday, you can catch this one...
Punch, the debut CD from Chris Thile's Punch Brothers, is among the nominees in the Best CDs of 2008 listener poll at NPR.com. The band is encouraging their many fans and friends to register at the NPR Community site, and cast a vote for them in the poll.
Punch is certainly high on my list of 2008...
I enjoyed the article on the punch brothers. Not sure why as I have listened to some of their stuff and it was my cup of tea. Maybe because of the connection to baseball as I do love my sports or it may have to do with the Cubs. Anybody should want them to win the world series! Well... except for...
Regular readers of The Bluegrass Blog will have noted our unrestrained enthusiasm for mandolin prodigy Chris Thile's return to a more bluegrass-like vehicle for his creative energies. We not only cheered his re-embrace of the Bill Monroe bluegrass band format, we welcomed the opportunity to watch and...
Punch Brothers are continuing to use their semi-regular Thursday show at The Living Room in New York City to try out some of their more adventurous undertakings.
We posted a video of them performing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major a month ago, and now there is video of them tackling...
The first new set of post-Nickel Creek dates for Punch Brothers, the latest nom de guerre for Chris Thile's merry band of super-pickers, have been posted online.

Here's Part 3 of our interview with Chris Thile and Chris Eldridge (a.k.a. Critter) of the Punch Brothers. In this third, and final, installment, we'll be discussing the actual process of recording the new Punch Brothers CD, Punch, and in particular the major composition, The Blind Leaving The Blind.

Tonight (2/29), Punch Brothers will be the musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. No doubt but that they will perform something from their just-released Nonesuch CD, Punch.
The show airs at 11:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC, and the musical segment is usually the very last before the show concludes...
Each year when the IBMA Awards nominations are announced, there are a couple of glaring absences in the roll call. For 2008, neither Cherryholmes nor any members of Punch Brothers were nominated, and Punch received only a single nomination, for Graphic Design, which it did not win.
Perhaps The Bluegrass...
This afternoon, I had a lovely chat with Lynn Morris and Marshall Wilborn. Longtime bluegrass fans are well familiar with Lynn’s many years as a performer, bandleader and friend to our music, and we all felt a great loss when she suffered a stroke in Match of 2003, keeping her off the road and out [...]
