I saw Chris perform this with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra last month and I am STILL talking about it. Thanks for sharing this video with us so I can hear this beautiful arrangement again! (Now, if any part of "Attention!" was filmed, that would make me even happier

It's been amazing to see him grow musically from his days with Nickle Creek as a teen. This man works very hard on his craft and it shows. He's been a regular on the Bluegrass scene but has branched out in so many different directions. He's one of the best collaborators in the business. This performance is amazing.

Absolutely stellar. We all know how amazing a mandolin player Chris is, but I'm always impressed by his voice. He's such a good singer.

Thanks you for bringing such wonderful music Kennedy Center 😘👏👏👏👏

[@getlykeheathahunter]

My favorite song of all time 😭

[@EricNentrupTheRed]

Hung out with Chris at Noah's place five years ago and he noticed the whiskey I brought and we connected over that moment. Seeing this reinforces the notion that he is an underrated national treasure for what music he shares with us. That's all! Just some sincere appreciation.

Fantastic, fantastic arrangement. CTis a towering musician, amazing composer and one of the great singers, always musical, but understanding that real emotional connection happens when singing doesn't stray too far from the dynamics and rhythms of real speech.

Holy crow, what an amazing song. Congratulations Mr. Thile. Brilliant tune, brilliantly performed.

Loved, Loved, Loved this!!! I’d love to hear a collaboration between Chris and Andy Partridge from XTC.

The mandolin maestro 🙏

The undisputed GOAT of mandolin players

[@jakethesyndicalist132]

I’d say that’s pretty disputed. Bill Monroe exists
