The Energy Curfew Music Hour 2

By: Chris Thile, Claire Coffee, Punch Brothers

Narrated by: 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.

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.

GOBSMACKING

From Punch Brothers to Nickel Creek to Live From Here to Prairie Home Companion I have followed Chris Thile & crew with absolute loyalty to the great feel good. It’s the ultimate escape into lifted spirits. A whirling dance into opening minds to what magic music makes. Ahoy! Come on! Big Love.
