Punch Brothers Expand North American Tour with 31 New Dates

Punch Brothers – mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Brittany Haas – begins a 64-city North American tour on May 14 performing throughout the spring, summer and fall. The tour celebrates the band’s new album The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers , which is due on July 24 from Nonesuch Records.

This marks the band’s most extensive tour since 2019 and includes stops across the East Coast, South, Midwest, Rockies, Southwest, West Coast and Canada, with headlining shows at venues including Carnegie Hall in New York and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Festival stops include Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Spoleto Festival, among others.

Punch Brothers partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting organizations working for equity, access and dignity for all. VIP packages are available throughout the tour. Presales are available now with the general on sale begins May 8 at 10:00 AM local time.

The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers is the seventh album from the Grammy-winning band and the first with fiddle player Brittany Haas, who joined the quintet in 2023. The record features eight new original compositions by Punch Brothers as well as three traditional songs they arranged.

The fully instrumental album’s title is more than a play on words: without lyrics to guide the listener, these are stories, impressions and emotions communicated entirely with strings through melody and rhythm. The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers is produced by the band and engineered by Joseph Lorge, who most recently received a Grammy award for Best Engineered Album/Non-Classical for his work on Pino Palladino and Blake Mills’ That Wasn’t a Dream .

Thile, who founded the band in 2006, said of the record, “This music is the result of what feels to me like our deepest but also most joyful exploration of the American string band in the twenty years we’ve been making music together. Something about the dichotomy of all the water under the bridge plus a new, brilliant teammate in Brittany. We all felt like kids in a candy store. …so many possibilities and so much energy with which to pursue them, except with the kind of collective discipline and clarity of intent that only decades of collaboration affords.”

The band has garnered critical acclaim, including a Grammy for Best Folk Album for All Ashore (2018). The Washington Post applauded them for taking “bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage, drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart.”

Most recently, Punch Brothers have been focused on the band’s musical variety show, “The Energy Curfew Music Hour.” Season One is available on all podcast platforms, with season two exclusively out on Audible. Season 1 was nominated for a Webby Award in the Podcast: Features, Experimental & Innovation category; it also won Most Innovative Audio Experience, Best Live Podcast Recording, and Best Sound Design in the Listener’s Choice category of the 2025 Signal Awards.
