Narrado por: Chris Thile, Punch Brothers

The Grammy-winning Punch Brothers, fronted by Chris Thile, are back for Season 2, bringing you a multi-episode collaborative musical variety show with dazzling musical guests like Billy Strings, Sara Bareilles, Jacob Collier, Shawn Mendes, Meshell Ndegeocello, Andrew Bird, Cecile McLorin Salvant and many more.

We join them in an imagined near future when diminishing resources have ushered in a worldwide effort to ration electricity. America has instituted a weekly “energy curfew” where the power grid goes down completely and we all live electricity-free for 24 hours. The Energy Curfew Music Hour hits the airwaves an hour before the lights go out while the nation tunes in and turns off together before the Dark Day.

Recorded live in front of an audience, revel in the wild and wonderful joy unleashed in these one-night-only performances. Chris Thile and Punch Brothers help you wind down before you power down. Happy Dark Day, y’all.

Ze music

Quirky, Fun, and Talented! The Punch Brothers lead us through a menagerie of talented artists and creative music with a festive yet dystopian backdrop.

As good as it gets…

Episodes 1, 5 and 6 of season 2 are absolutely magical… some of the best Americana music available today.

Prairie Home Companion with better music

Liked the nostalgic entertaining vibe but I really loved the more complex music and fine poetry. Didn’t know what to expect, a lovely surprise.

Coverage of the mood of America

Accurate perception of our situation With many emotions characterized accurately and sympathetically by the musician actors novel and inspiring and humorous

cheerful music

Glad to hear Chris Thile again.
I've missed him since "Live from here" went off the air.

Great music, decent humor

Liked the discussion of the music and the liveliness of the musicians, Fun sense of humor. Enjoyable.

Awesome!

What an amazing show. I highly recommend this - truly amazing musicianship. It’s just so good!

Folky G-rated Comedy

Just a quick review, because this music isn't my style. I spotted Sara Bareilles and Shawn Mendes and thought I'd give it a shot. The premise is sound and the performances are enjoyable. The guest performer of each episode has a very limited presence. If you enjoy folk music and safe comedy with a fun theme, give it a shot.

POLITICS, ITS POLITICAL

I love the concept, the feel and by all means the musicianship of the performers. I'm not a bluegrass/folk fan but I found it to be very enjoyable for a good twenty minutes. Then the politics kicked in with a nefarious, lazy low hanging fruit song about how cops are out to kill black people. So I checked out and deleted it from my library. Great idea though and coulda been great.
