Multiple Grammy© Award-winner and MacArthur Fellow Chris Thile, a member of Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, and now the host of the radio program, Live from Here, is a mandolin virtuoso, composer and vocalist. With his broad outlook, Thile transcends the borders of conventionally circumscribed genres, creating a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike. His most recent album, Thanks for Listening, is a collection of songs of “gentle humor and musical imagination” (Uncut) from Live From Here’s popular “Song of the Week” segment.
