Chris Thile announced that Live from Here, (formerly A Prairie Home Companion), will hit the road for a live broadcast from the ASU Gammage in Tempe, AZ on Saturday, March 10, 2018 with musical guests The Wood Brothers, Phoebe Bridgers, and comedian Bobcat Goldthwait.
Tickets are on sale now for the live national broadcast, which will also feature duet partner Madison Cunningham, The Royal Academy of Radio Actors—Tim Russell (man of a thousand voices), Serena Brook and sound effects wizard Fred Newman as well as the hardest working band in Public Radio—The First-Call Radio Players.

Chris Thile was hand selected by Garrison Keillor to take over as host of the famed and long-running live radio variety show in the fall of 2016. Chris—a multiple Grammy Award-winner and MacArthur Fellow and a member of Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek—is a mandolin virtuoso, composer and vocalist. With his broad outlook that encompasses classical, rock, jazz, and bluegrass, Thile transcends the borders of conventionally circumscribed genres, creating a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike. Thile's latest album, Thanks for Listening, (Nonesuch Records) containing 10 studio “re-imaginings” of “Songs of the Week” from Chris’ inaugural season in 2016-17.
