Punch Brothers launch their winter 2013 tour of the United States with a performance at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, tonight. The month-long tour heads across the country, making stops in Missouri, Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, DC, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, and Maine. Supporting the band for most of the tour is Anaïs Mitchell; Minton Sparks opens in Louisville, and Sarah Jarosz opens at one of the band's two nights at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. See below for all of the currently scheduled dates; for additional details and ticket links, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour. (For a more aesthetically appealing representation of the tour, note the band's winter tour poster pictured at left. Designed by Landland, it will be available for purchase at venues along the way.)
Just in time for the start of the tour, the first official video from the Punch Brothers’ 2012 Nonesuch album, Who’s Feeling Young Now?, for “Movement and Location,” has received its premiere via CMT. The video was shot early last year by famed music photographer Danny Clinch at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn. Watch it below via CMT Edge.
While there are a few months between the last stop on the winter tour and Punch Brothers' first scheduled festival dates of the spring, at Spoleto and Telluride, the band will be busy in the interim writing the next Punch Brothers album and taking on some side ventures, like the one listed below the Punch Brothers tour dates below. Chris Thile will be joining forces with fellow Nonesuch artist Brad Mehldau for a series of duo shows in April, making stops in Durham, Boston, Knoxville, Chicago, Austin, and more. Ticket links for those shows are also available at nonesuch.com/on-tour.
