Texas Performing Arts celebrates the best of American acoustic music with a special double-bill featuring the exciting bluegrass/folk sound of the Punch Brothers with Chris Thile and folk music icon Loudon Wainwright III. Collecting five singular abilities and viewpoints into one musical force, Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile have established their place among the most dynamic and talented presences across the full range of contemporary music-making. As performing and recording artists, composers and interpreters, technicians and stylists, they continue to push the boundaries of possibility while maintaining an unerring devotion to the basic audience experience. For nearly forty years Loudon Wainwright III has been one of America’s most cherished music icons. His legendary wit and satirical genius have expanded his cultural reach from troubadour to silver screen regular. Using a witty, self-mocking style, Wainwright has recorded over twenty albums on eleven different labels, including 2009’s High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project which won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. His critically acclaimed 2007 release, Strange Weirdos, music from and inspired by the movie Knocked Up, won him a new generation of fans. “...this top shelf acoustic quintet is a virtuosic revelation…” BOSTON GLOBE on the Punch Brothers “Mr. Wainwright wrings more human truth out of his contradiction than any other songwriter of his generation.” NEW YORK TIMES
