Carolina Chocolate Drops with Punch Brothers
O2 ABC Glasgow : O2 ABC 1
Please Note: This is a past event.
Continuing their mission to revive and reinvent the African-American string-band tradition, the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops recently expanded to a four-piece, with songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins and cellist Leyla McCalla joining co-founders Dom Flemons and Rhiannon Giddens. Following 2011’s EP collaboration with the Luminescent Orchestrii, their new, Buddy Miller-produced album Leaving Eden is due in early 2012.
The formidably virtuosic, genre-busting quintet Punch Brothers, formed in 2006 by ex-Nickel Creek mandolinist and singer Chris Thile, have been likened by Slant magazine to “a string-band version of Radiohead”. After ecstatic acclaim for their sophomore release, 2010’s Antifogmatic (”an impossibly perfect mixture of down-home charm and staggering sophistication,” raved Paste) we look forward to their new album Who’s Feeling Young Now? being released next month.
“Brilliant, audacious, original and, above all, entertaining; Punch Brothers put on a show that pushed the boundaries of excellence in contemporary music performance in virtually all directions.”, The Times
