Cain Park: Take Ten

Tonight we saw yet another group that we were not familiar with. The Punch Brothers, led by Grammy-winning mandolinist Chris Thile, blended traditional bluegrass with classical, jazz, pop, and everything except the kitchen sink.

Unfortunately, the show was plagued by the intermittent loss of the left speaker. When the band went off at the end of the sets, they learned about it. When they came back for the encore, they decided to go acoustic in front of the mikes.

All of us (our friend Larry joined us) agreed that it was not likely that the fault lay with the Cain Park equipment. Larry had never experienced it in the 35 years he has been to shows and I never have in the 24 years I've been going.

Tonight you get two videos to give you a taste of the variety of numbers they performed.
