Chris Thile, who is currently on tour in Europe, is the guest on the latest episode of the Premier Guitar podcast Wong Notes, hosted by guitarist Cory Wong. “You want to talk about amazing live musicians: the guest on today’s show, Chris Thile,” Wong says. “Oh my gosh, this dude is insane. One of my absolute favorite musicians of all time. One of my favorite musicians to ever play with. One of my favorite thinkers, creative minds. This guy is incredible.”

Wong has played with Thile several times, including as part of the band Vulfpeck and on Thile’s former public radio show Live From Here. In their conversation, they discuss the rewards of collaboration. “Sometimes one plus one equals three,” Thile says, “where you both are just leave the table feeling like I'm more now and I'm more when I go to the table with other people who aren't this person. So, I gotta make sure that I get back to the table with that person often.

You can hear their conversation here:

Thile’s solo tour, featuring music from his 2021 album, Laysongs, and more, takes him to France and Luxembourg this weekend, followed by shows in Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway before heading to the UK and Ireland in November for six shows with special guest Sam Amidon.

    Guitarist/composer Yasmin Williams stopped by the NPR offices in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert of songs from her new album, Acadia, and more. "Williams is a fingerstyle guitarist who taps, slaps and slides up and down the fretboard of her instrument with a commanding sense of scenery that flickers between the strings," says NPR's Lars Gotrich. "Storytellers build worlds; at the Tiny Desk, Williams invites us into hers." You can watch it here.
