Chris Eldridge & Paul Kowert from Punch Brothers - Musser 12 String & Martin Bass

[@MikeGervasi]

Punch Brothers were complete once they brought Paul in. They are all virtuosos of their instruments.

[@stkbkr1]

Real pros, guy didn't even tell him what he was going to play but you can see he listened to the beat and was on it. Just beautiful, Rock on!!!

[@RyHex311mit]

Perfection. These guys absolute pros. The top .1% at their respective instruments. Thanks for capturing this Norm (and Jen!)

[@screamofiddler8761]

Their voices blend really well together! Also, that's probably the first time I've ever clearly heard Paul sing. He's not bad! Both of them are amazing players, too!

[@pjw2000]

He does a fair number of harmonies in Punch Brothers, though he's definitely fourth in line (with Noam being fifth, bringing in the low end when they need it). This Girl, Magnet, Familiarity, It's All Part of the Plan, New York City, and their cover of Surf's Up are just a few songs off the top of my head where Paul sings back-up.

[@bippy201]

pjw2000 I never realized he sung until I saw them in concert a few weeks ago. Now I need to listen to those songs closely to find his voice!

[@bobknott7299]

Bass player doesn’t know what’s coming but lays right in the pocket and carries the day. Cheers to the guitar player for giving the Bass player his 15 seconds of solo & fame!

[@bippy201]

Bob Knott They are so talented and work amazingly together! The bass player is Paul Kowert and that’s Chris Eldridge on guitar by the way!

[@MariSundell]

@@bippy201 Paul Kowert... bass virtuoso

[@garykramermusic]

I've never seen Paul smile that much. Such a great time!

[@Trombonology]

I learned about Chris' Punch Brothers connection backwards -- I first became aware of him when I saw him in a duo concert with Julian Lage; I've seen them twice now. Chris is an amazing player and singer. This type of music isn't normally my thing, but great playing and sincerity can win you over.

[@andrewt248]

Punch Brothers are cutting another album. Yaaaasss!

[@trebortrahrebe2575]

Seems like they could have gone on for another hour with that song. Nice.

[@Robin18us]

That was so much fun. You guys are great. Thank you

[@Wildmutationblu]

I was feeling down but watching these two brothers really cheered me up. Thank you both.

[@keithrevst692]

One of the better couch shows of Norms I have seen in a while

[@johnhedigan9692]

Top shelf players, these cats - super humble too.

[@SingSurfStrum]

Awesome, what a great sound

[@leonardsrobert]

Chris is something else! Love his work with Julian Lage as well!

[@ZionForman]

real musicians , genuine talent

[@elizabethgallahan1360]

Killin it as usual, my fav musicians on the planet. Go Paul!

[@accobodla]

I want these guys on my porch.

[@fastguitars4380]

These P-Bro guys are just so great...(And so is the new album)..... And that D.Musser 12 string guitar sounds like a Cathedral.. I hope he bought it.

[@grwood15]

Yes! I love John Hartford and this new bluegrass movement. Great Americana

[@jefferyswan4401]

Wow. This is so awesome!!!!

[@MarkZarecki]

More of this please! Love these guys! Let’s get Julian Lage in the mix too!!! Great job guys.

[@jakedulln]

Duude so glad i clicked on this ♡

[@mustafaalpcigman4110]

Saw them couple years ago in Boston. They were amazing

[@COJOcommando]

Love Chris Eldridge!!

[@derael61]

good ol boys!

[@TheDp1965]

Very Cool... Thanks for posting this. Awesome!

[@daves.2111]

Loved it.

[@ritonlabaston]

Wow ! Merci ! ça fait du bien :-))

[@thai620]

These guys are real pickers and I don't mean nose!

[@jasonbrooks633]

Dude can play bass...I think he was put on the spot though with that song, been there...not fun. But yeah he is a for real player

[@leftaroundabout]

He also feels evidently awkward with the short scale, low action, obtrusive frets and squeaky roundwound string of that bass guitar.

[@millsmillsmills203]

For sure bass guitar isn't his forte, but he did go to Curtis so he can for sure hold his own. Probably one of the few guys who's played an Edgar Meyer concerto and held his own with it.

[@riceiain4801]

Outta hear him play upright. He’s insane

[@MrJohnr47]

Norm should have found him an upright bass- can’t believe that they don’t have one laying around there.

[@christopherreily1895]

@@MrJohnr47 so true and how about not giving one of the best pickers around a 12-string guitar to play. No vintage Martin dreads around for him to play??

[@Hillcapper1]

That was fantastic!

[@jameswelsh598]

Paul was looking for a bow

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

oh yeah now I remember what it's like to be a proud American! Stellar job boys!

[@30smsuperstrat]

Punch bros rock the haystack!

[@hewystudio7832]

The Hartford tune was a pleasant surprise

[@shoer5151]

Awesome 😎

[@boss123400]

Nice job!

[@tomokra]

So very, very good. In case anybody cares, the verse they left off ... "He comes from a real old time way of life/He had to fight just to learn how/He might even have voted for Nixon once/But I'm sure he sees that now/Friday night he makes the best damn gumbo you'd ever want to eat/Saturday morning before everyone's up/He's gone off down to the fleet"

[@melvynobrien6193]

John Hartford was a decent dude. Did a few sessions with him in NY in the seventies for Casablanca.

[@OkieSilverDude]

that was f'ing rad

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

[@stroopwafel6141]

Sympathetic boys who can play. That 12-string sounds nice too.

[@christophermay4998]

Good music......I'm sure the bass guy can play.....obviously off the cuff......still good music.....👍👍

LEMMO BUMAYE

[@strangedean]

Why does every Norm video have a moment of awkwardness? :)

[@onthe1481]

What's wrong with this Channel today I saw comment of mine that was not directed toward these players and also seen a repeat.

[@therover4141]

Anybody that tried to say that dude playing bass don't know how to fucking play bass don't know how to fucking play bass I clicked on the link somebody posted in the comment section with the bass player Paul Kowert playing bass and these three girls are singing some little three chick group called I'm with her in this song He's only playing bass nobody else playing shit just him I was like God damn these bitches can sing like Emmylou Harris style from O Brother Where Art Thou haunting fucking shit but in this dude started jamming out God damn it this guy is fuckingawesome if anything he played in this video sounded bad it's that fucking bass it ain't him it's not intonated or some shit find that link somebody posted in the comments and I've never heard of the John Hartford guy either checked him out he's like the Bob Dylan or the doors of bluegrass those three chicks that were singing with that Paul guy I mean I don't normally listen to that kind of music and I just don't like hearing sad sounding shit all the time and I'm not a fag don't listen to love songs on the regular but then three girls holy crap they ain't the prettiest damn things in the world so that tells you right there they probably sing and play like hell and they do

[@strangedean]

You need to ease up on the cocaine fella! :)

[@therover4141]

Dean Scott don't do drugs or drink fella

[@guitarocd9984]

Trust me you don't want to be an old man.

[@bradledots]

there was an uncomfortable amount of eye contact.... great players though lol

[@Trombonology]

You're the only one LOL. Grow up, huh?

[@bradledots]

what? man people get offended over literally everything now.

[@Trombonology]

Not offended, just disbelieving. Eye contact???? ... Relax.

[@bradledots]

whats there to disbelieve? i said you were offended because you felt the need to tell me to grow up with a condesending huh? afterwards. for no reason i can see other than me useing lol cause for some reason what i said bothered you enough to leave a comment.

[@Trombonology]

Well, anyone can leave a comment ... big deal.

[@jj339c]

Good job fellas! I just don’t like the sound of 12 string no matter who’s playing it. lol

[@roaddog7542]

Bass player should of stepped out on this one.

[@51Dss]

bass was not audible at all

[@alexdrapeau97]

51Dss get some good headphones!!

[@Smorgyg]

It totally is, and I’m listening on my iPhone speakers...get some better ears my man

[@kennybowers2502]

Lol. Guy aint even barley playing the bass

[@editorjuno]

He's a upright bassist and one of the best there is -- and that bass doesn't intonate correctly up high on the neck. Had it been fretless, Paul would have made it sound flawless. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWOXl397jsaYe80

[@kennybowers2502]

Bruce Morgen that makes sense.

[@kennybowers2502]

Bruce Morgen they both sing very nice. I'll have to check then out

[@roaddog7542]

Air guitarists like it.

[@kennybowers2502]

Checked out some of their stuff they are pretty good

[@eds1994fatboy]

How about a nice Hawaiian Punch.....These guys were YAWNERS.....WTF is Frank

[@s1ngular1ty6]

that greg garrison, not paul kowert.
