Following last weekend's performance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Chris Thile and Michael Daves' next live duo set is slated for mid-July at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, with Thile touring with Punch Brothers until then. In the mean time, you can watch the duo the New York Times called "a rip-roaring partnership" perform five songs off their recently released Nonesuch album, Sleep with One Eye Open, in a session at the Paste offices captured on video.

"It seems that whatever project he immerses himself in, Chris Thile can do no wrong," says Paste's Max Blau. "After bringing his virtuosic talents to bands like Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers, the heralded mandolinist has now teamed up with guitarist Michael Daves for his next project."

Watch Chris Thile and Michael Daves perform five songs from that next project, Sleep with One Eye Open—"Loneliness and Desperation," "20/20 Vision," "Bury Me Beneath the Willow," "Billy in the Low Ground," and "My Little Girl in Tennessee"—which, says Blau, "captured two musicians who continue to be at the top of their game," at pastemagazine.com.

To pick up a copy of Sleep with One Eye Open, head to the Nonesuch Store, where orders include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the album plus the bonus track "Sophronie" at checkout. For tour information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

"Yasmin Williams is known for extending the boundaries of solo fingerstyle guitar, with progressive techniques and original compositions that blossom out of traditional folk and roots touchstones," writes Acoustic Guitar's Joey Lusterman. "On her latest record, Acadia, she expands her distinctive sound world even further." Williams kicks off a US tour later this month.

    Congratulations to composer and pianist Timo Andres on receiving the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Elise L. Stoeger Prize—a $25,000 cash prize, awarded biennially by CMS to recognize significant contributions to the field of chamber music composition. Andres says: “I feel equally challenged and freed to take risks when I write chamber music, and writing it, I’ve learned the most about becoming a better composer and musician. To be recognized in this medium by one of its greatest institutional standard-bearers is a huge and unexpected honor.”
