Punch Brothers return to the road this Saturday for the first of several September performances, starting with a set at the moe.down festival in Mohawk, New York, featuring music from their latest Nonesuch release, Antifogmatic. While the band was between shows, front man Chris Thile performed a solo set for a lucky few at the intimate Rockwood Music Hall in New York City.

The band's fall tour includes a stop at the Lied Center at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, on October 2. Leading up to the performance, Punch Brothers guitarist Chris Eldridge (a.k.a. "Critter") spoke with the folks at the Lied Center for a video interview the venue has posted to YouTube. In the interview, he talks a bit about the band's distinct sound.

"We are pretty omnivorous in terms of what we listen to musically," Critter explains. "If we sound unique, it's just because we love everything and try to incorporate the good parts of all the music that we like into our music." Eldridge even recites some of the Mark Twain poem from which the band took its name.
