Chris Thile, mandolin and vocals tickets

A dazzling virtuoso and musical shapeshifter, the “extroverted, stellar, and spectacular mandolinist” (Los Angeles Times) Chris Thile brings the full range of emotions to his eclectic recital performances. Thile is always compelling, whether shredding on the mandolin, singing a ballad, or telling charming stories that recall his time as host of the public radio program Live from Here. Drawing on selections from Laysongs, his first-ever solo recording from 2024, the MacArthur Fellow and four-time Grammy winner is just as likely to play his highly personal take on a Bach partita as he is a classic bluegrass tune or one of his introspective original songs. Be prepared for surprises!
