Song Review: My Bluegrass Heart and the Punch Brothers - “Holiday Medley” (Live, Dec. 15, 2022)
Serious musicians are sometimes playful.
Take Béla Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart and the Punch Brothers, for instance. The bands joined forces Dec. 15 in Indiana to act out and play what they call “Holiday Medley.”
The hilarity begins with the best Chipmunk imitation this side of a burrow as Chris Thile, Chris Eldridge and Sierra Hull channel Alvin and the gang on “Christmas Don’t be Late.”
Emcee/banjoist/straight man Noam Pikelny then reads letters to Santa in which the band members ask for fewer dudes on stage (Hull), equal pay (Paul Kowert) and a mantle strong enough to hold multiple Grammys (Fleck). Pikelny keeps it up until a subpoena arrives with his name on it.
When the jokes are done, the combined bands burst forth in a red-hot, bluegrass Christmas, taking the audience on a “Sleigh Ride” of dueling mandolins, banjos, double basses and guitars. And a single Dobro.
Oh, and “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” makes a brief appearance. But you have to listen closely.

Not the result i wanted, but honestly? I'm not too upset. To lose right at the end like that was gutting, but holding our own across two games against the championship's best team is something i think we can be really proud of, and it's been so nice to have a proper go at a cup run in a way we haven't for absolutely forever. I think we can definitely be happy with this, even if it didn't end perfectly
