The Punch Brothers played the "American Roots, New Shoots" series at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, New York, this past weekend, in a mini-festival showcasing "new perspectives on traditional American music." In a review of the "supremely entertaining" performance in the New York Times, writer Ben Ratliff describes the show as "cleverly splintered and episodic, with touches of breathless emotion and ... humor." The group played songs from their new album, Antifogmatic; Ratliff writes that "at its most intense, the band’s music suggests prairie landscapes redone by a supremely confident illustrator."

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
