I talked the other day about one band that puts on an entertaining, high-energy show while still playing traditional bluegrass. Here’s another.

The Punch Brothers display astonishing versatility in this mini-set, moving easily from 20th century Irish folk music to hardcore bluegrass to Americana.

The set begins with “The Auld Triangle”, continues with a wonderful vocal from Critter Eldridge on “Don’t Give Your Heart To A Rambler”, moves on to a lightning-quick version of “Wheel Hoss”, and ends with Gillian Welch’s “Wayside”.
