Vote for Punch on NPR
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 releases, one to which I find myself returning again and again. It is fascinating to hear Thile among his musical peers, on material created especially for this ensemble.
You can hear audio samples from Punch on the band’s MySpace page, or in iTunes.
