After meeting and jamming backstage at a Punch Brothers show, Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge became fast friends and eventually started playing shows together. Percolating with tinges of bluegrass and folk, insinuations of jazz and pop, hints of classical and avant garde composition, their style rarely settles into any one particular category; rather, it dances around the territory between genres, never announcing its innovations and prizing soulfulness above chops at every turn.

Lage is a renowned jazz guitarist who has collaborated with a range of musicians—Nels Cline, Gary Burton, and Fred Hersch. Eldridge is a veteran of the bluegrass world, cutting his teeth in the legendary outfits the Seldom Scene and the Infamous Stringdusters before anchoring Punch Brothers.
