Who put the "punch" in Punch Brothers?


Punch Brothers, a band with a style that has been described as introducing bluegrass instrumentation and spontaneity in the structures of modern classical, will perform a free concert Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. in the University of Wyoming College of Arts and Sciences auditorium.

The band is on tour promoting its second CD, "Antifogmatic," an album about the ups and downs of romance and life in the big city.

"We want our music to be something that people can sink their teeth into, if not help make sense of all the various things happening to them," says front man Chris Thile.

After playing at UW, the Punch Brothers are scheduled to perform on the same stage as Elton John, Elvis Costello, Jeff Bridges and many more reputable musicians as they continue to tour the United States.

Individuals with disabilities needing accommodations to participate in this event should contact the UW Campus Activities Center at (307) 766-6340 or sac@uwyo.edu.
