    Been admiring Chris Thile and his classically trained bluegrass band the Punch Brothers a long while. They helped me learn about Justin Townes Earle- who was an opener for them back in 2011 when I lived nyc.
    Billy MF Strings came on my radar in SF a few years later…he took what the punch bros did a massive step further.
    Put a couple prodigy musical geniuses together and look how much fun they have together and what they create! These are old old songs they’re covering. It’s soul level love of this music and their expression of it is not to be missed. Met both of these dudes couple times - feel lucky to listen. Can only imagine how their brains must work. If ya know, ya know when it comes to music…

      Hm…I’m not sure how Billy Strings took what the Punch Brothers were doing a massive step further. The Punch Brothers have written true masterworks incorporating many genres and styles. I don’t think anyone even does what the Punch Brothers have done.
      Billy Strings is good. I don’t intend any criticism toward him, but they are doing very different things in my opinion. And in terms of technicality and music theory, the Punch Brothers are clearly elevated in that regard.
