Who is Chris Thile?

Magic on the mandolin: that just begins to describe musician Chris Thile.

Chris' musical career is extensive. Most popularly known for his membership in Nickel Creek and Punch Brothers, Chris has a way with the mandolin that brings bluegrass and folk music straight to the soul. Chris also has played the sitar, violin, cello, double bass, just to name a few of his musical talents!

Chris Thile has won four Grammy Awards, BBC's Folk Musician of the Year in 2007, and in 2012 earned a MacArthur Fellowship.

Despite his numerous awards, Thile is often descried as loose, playful individual who doesn't take himself too seriously - leading to some remarkable moments on and off stage. Watch this recent mini concert from NPR to see him in action.
