All Ashore, Punch Brothers' first self-produced album, includes nine original songs written by the band.
Punch Brothers was formed in 2006 by Chris Thile. Its first Nonesuch record, ‘Punch’, was released in 2008 and combined elements of the band's many musical interests: indie rock, folk, jazz, bluegrass, classical, etc. In 2009 they began a residency at NYC's Living Room, trying out new songs and ultimately spawning the Grammy-nominated ‘Antifogmatic’. In 2012 the band released ‘Who's Feeling Young Now?’.
Punch Brothers are the quintet of mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny, and violinist Gabe Witcher.
