Punch Brothers hit the road again, kicking off a two-week tour of the United States at the Charleston Music Hall in South Carolina this Friday, a double bill with Dave Rawlings Machine. The tour will take the band across the South, including a set at the New Orleans Jazz Festival this weekend and stops in Nashville, Birmingham, and Athens, and two nights in North Carolina, before heading north to Philadelphia and Cambridge, and then to the Midwest for a night in Milwaukee and two in Chicago. Gabriel Kahane returns to open most of the shows along the way.
The band regroups in the summer for several festival dates, including a return to Telluride Bluegrass Festival and two shows at the Chris Thile–curated American Acoustic festival at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. The group plays a three-night residency at Blue Note Tokyo and a full five-city tour of Australia in August.

"With enthusiasm and experimentation, Punch Brothers take bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage," says the Washington Post, "drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart. The word 'eclectic' only scratches the surface when describing the quintet's deep well of influences, which include roots rock, jazz and even classical."
