DESCRIPTION:
March 6, 2015 – FULL SET – Brooklyn-based, Punch Brothers, performed live in front of a sold-out crowd at Boston’s House of Blues. Boston is a town that "lead the way right from the beginning," says Chris Thile. “To step on stage here is to feel like you’re part of a chapter meeting of music lovers—people who love listening to and making music. It’s a vivacious crowd, and they strike that balance….in that golden zone between participating and absorbing.”

The all-star quintet performed a number of tracks from their fourth full-length album, The Phosphorescent Blues (released earlier this year), as well as fan-favorites ("Rye Whiskey”) and outstanding covers (Radiohead’s "Kid A”).
