PB&J never sounded so good! Punch Brothers and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy serve up one unforgettable evening at the Gogue Center.

Punch Brothers

Punch Brothers, formed by mandolinist Chris Thile in 2006, are known for pushing the boundaries of acoustic music. In addition to Thile, the band currently comprises guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Brittany Haas. Punch Brothers have garnered critical acclaim, including a Grammy Award for Best Folk Album for All Ashore (2018). The Washington Post applauded them for taking “bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage, drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart.”

Over the past two decades, Punch Brothers have become pioneers in modern string music, with albums like Antifogmatic (2010), Who’s Feeling Young Now? (2012) and The Phosphorescent Blues (2015) showcasing the group’s genre-defying sound. Rolling Stone praised their work as “wild virtuosity used for more than just virtuosity,” cementing their reputation as trailblazers in contemporary acoustic music. The band’s 2021 album, Hell on Church Street, is a reimagining of and homage to the late bluegrass great Tony Rice’s landmark solo album Church Street Blues.

More recently, Punch Brothers have focused on the band’s musical variety show, The Energy Curfew Music Hour. Season 1 is available on all podcast platforms, with Season 2 available exclusively on Audible. Season 1 was nominated for a Webby Award in the Podcast: Features, Experimental & Innovation category. It also won Most Innovative Audio Experience, Best Live Podcast Recording and Best Sound Design in the Listener’s Choice category of the 2025 Signal Awards.

The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, the seventh album from the Grammy-winning band, is out now on Nonesuch Records. The album is the group’s first entirely instrumental release and its first with violinist Brittany Haas, who joined the quintet in 2023. It features eight new original compositions by Punch Brothers as well as three traditional songs arranged by the band.

Jeff Tweedy

Jeff Tweedy, founding member and frontman of Grammy-winning band Wilco, is one of contemporary music’s most respected songwriters and performers. His career spans nearly four decades, beginning as a co-founder of the influential alternative country band Uncle Tupelo before forming Wilco in 1994. Known for his distinctive songwriting and genre-defying approach to music, Tweedy has helped shape the sound of modern American rock. In addition to 13 Wilco albums, he has released five solo albums, produced recordings for artists including Mavis Staples and authored three New York Times bestsellers.

His latest solo album, Twilight Override (dBpm Records), is an ambitious 30-song triple album released in 2025 to widespread critical acclaim. Following the album’s success, a solo tour offered fans a rare chance to experience songs from Tweedy’s expansive catalog in a more intimate setting—spanning both his solo work and Wilco favorites.
