Chris Thile is an awesome musician. You don't want to miss seeing him perform.
This was my third annual visit to the Raleigh area to see Chris Thile play. I did not realize he was playing "solo" but when I discovered this, I was beyond excited! I am not a traditional bluegrass listener & he is not your average bluegrass artist & that is why I love Chris so much!!! He did not dissapoint! Thile's talent is remarkable & the use he gets out of his trusty mandolin-INCREDIBLE!!! He is the reason why I even listen to bluegrass, but it has to be special & I think he is pretty special, freakishly special (and I mean that in a good way)!!
Passionate mandolin player! How lucky we were to see him perform!
Amazing show -- Chris + his mandolin with a single mic and a bottle of water, nothing else
One man, one mandolin, one incredible evening. Chris Thile is the greatest musician of his generation; he played everything from Bach to covers of The Strokes to Thile's own original tunes. He is no one-trick pony, but is equally skilled in every genre he turns his hand to. His ease of manner was apparent from the moment he stepped on stage. Not only is he an amazing mandolinist, but he's also got a wicked sense of humor and is comfortable joking around with the audience. It's not hard to see that he loves what he does deep down in his soul--and he makes you love it, too.
He is such a unique and amazingly talented individual. It was wonderful to see him solo with only his voice and his mandolin!
The concert was amazing--he is a brilliant artist and an engaging performer.
I feel so honored to have been at this concert - Chris Thile SOLO! He was truly amazing....he is one of the most talented, warm and friendly artist I have seen.
Words cannot even express how amazing Chris Thile is in concert. The man is beyond a master at the mandolin and to watch him perform is like watching Davinci paint the mona lisa. Phenomenal!
I have never had so much fun. The concert was amazing. Such high energy and amazing talent. I have always admired Chris Thile but this concert made me realize how truely awesome both he and Michael Daves are. If you had any doubts about the musical knowledge of either of these men just sit through a round of Fiddle Tune Request Time and any doubts will fade. I saw Chris with his band Punch Brothers last year on my birthday and this year I saw him with Michael. I'm hoping to make this a tradition that I doubt will ever disappoint. The birthday hugs after the show were an added bonus.
The show was great. Michael Davies has a great voice and Chris Thile is a wonder on the mandolin. The energy and crowd interaction was great.
These two sound great together, a new approach to bluegrass that takes it back to its roots. Daves definitely brings some delta blues along with him and some intense vocals. Bluegrass fans have been waiting for Thile to dive into a bunch of bluegrass for awhile now. Five stars all the way.
This is the 3rd time we have seen Chris Thile (first two with the Punch Bros). he continues to impress in every way. He and Michael had such a connection. We we're 3 feet away and just in awe of their amazing skill. They we're having a great time!
Chris never fails to take my breath away but his chemistry with Michael Daves both musically and personally is something to behold. They were both incredible and the venue and crowd were perfect for their energy.
gritty roots with modern virtuosity, bringing Appalachia to the rock club- awesome!
