Thile | Marshall
It says a lot when you go into a show expecting to be blown away, and then you get blown away anyhow! Chris Thile is undoubtedly the most skilled performer I've ever witnessed (can hold his own next to Joshua Bell, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas, et al), and definitely the most tasteful composer I've heard lately. He's been playing mandolin, as Mike Marshall put it, "since he was in the test tube," which is a testament to the terrifying brilliance of his music.
The concert was at the St. John's Cathedral, the same place that I saw Jove sing that time, and the acoustics were excellent, the place was packed, and we were absolutely floored. If you have the means, I highly recommend that you check them out!
This show was a birthday present from a good friend. Thanks, Nick, we loved it!
