Punch Brothers, whose T Bone Burnett–produced album The Phosphorescent Blues, was released on Nonesuch Records earlier this year, kick off a 24-city North American tour with three nights at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, starting tonight (which also happens to be Chris Thile's birthday!). The tour includes stops in Nashville, Chicago, New York, Boston, and Vancouver; four dates in California; three in Texas; and more, with supporting sets from Gaby Moreno, Michael Daves, and Gabriel Kahane along the way. See the full tour schedule below, including several summer festival dates as well, like Bonnaroo and Telluride. Tickets to the non-festival shows include a download of the new album.

The vinyl edition of The Phosphorescent Blues, which includes four additional tracks not available elsewhere, is due out next Tuesday and is available to pre-order now. The album is available on CD and digitally at iTunes, Amazon, and in the Punch Brothers shop and Nonesuch Store, where orders included a download of the complete album at checkout and the HD digital version of the album is available to purchase.

Chris Thile recently spoke with Rolling Stone Country's Nancy Dunham about a theme the album touches on, that is the impact of technology on contemporary life. "The genius of Thile and bandmates Paul Kowert, Noam Pikelny, Chris Eldridge and Gabe Witcher," writes Dunham, "is the artistry with which they mix bluegrass, roots, rock, pop, jazz and classical to create a unique, contemporary sound." You can read the article at rollingstone.com.

"Punch Brothers are astoundingly skilled, non-show-offy, and pretty much pushing at the vanguard of really great music you need to listen to right now," Rolling Stone exclaimed upon the album's release. "This record would be a great place to start."

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
