Punch Brothers celebrated the release of their new album, The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, with a set at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island on Saturday. En route aboard the Newport Harbor Shuttle, the band gave fellow ferry passengers a sneak peek of its set with a performance of the album's closing track, "New Book," and a bit of John Williams' thematically appropriate Jaws theme. You can watch both here.

The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, the seventh album from the Grammy-winning band—and its first comprising all instrumental tunes as well as its first with fiddle player Brittany Haas, who joined the quintet in 2023—is out now. The album features eight new original compositions by Punch Brothers as well as three traditional songs they arranged. The album’s title is more than a play on words: without lyrics to guide the listener, these are stories, impressions, and emotions communicated entirely with strings through melody, harmony, rhythm, and a literary sense of musical structure. The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers is produced by the band and engineered by Joseph Lorge. You can watch the band perform the track “June Apple (poisoned),” in a new video here, and see the band on tour this summer and fall.

Punch Brothers were on CBS Saturday Morning's Fourth of July episode to perform Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" as well as two songs from their upcoming instrumental album, The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, out July 24: "New Bike" and "Song of the Water Kelpie (unsung)." You can watch all three performances, filmed at beautiful Bridal Veil Falls in Telluride, Colorado, here.

You can hear it here and watch a performance video, directed by Josh Goleman, here. The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers is the seventh album from the Grammy-winning band—and its first comprising all instrumental tunes. The band is on its most extensive tour since 2019.

For a band known for pushing acoustic music into unexpected places, going fully instrumental may be the most adventurous move they have made yet. The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers is produced by the band and engineered by Joseph Lorge. You can watch the band perform the opening track, “New Bike,” in a new video here, and see the band on tour this spring, summer, and fall.
