Ahoy! In the midst of these strange times, we’re starting the Live from Home stage, a digital space for us to keep making and experiencing art when we can’t be physically together. Because of cancellations and closures, many performers’ income streams have become unstable. We encourage you to support the artists you love by buying their music and merch, and other means of direct financial support. You can support Live from Here by donating at www.livefromhere.org/donate-l... And, if you’re making your own art while stuck inside, we encourage you to share it using #livefromhome.
To kick things off, @christhile covered @Wilco’s “Radio Cure.”
We invite Sara Bareilles, Jon Batiste, and Hilary Hahn to perform #livefromhome next!

Hey, algorithm, put this in everyone's phones.

[@kevinmonasmith274]

Yes please. With an extra gravy.

[@alex0589]

But wash your phones, tho

[@smittencounter]

Algorithm: "This request completes my understanding of joy, master. Comensing import of video into every being in every dimension."

[@AdamsMusicandFun]

What an awesome interpretation of a song by a band whose singer (Jeff Tweedy) often plays the songs he has written, when he plays solo, in different arrangements. Their music is so versatile and subject to different recreations. Well done.

[@nickwilson5694]

every time i see chris thile play he reminds me of like a bard from a fantasy universe. incredible talent, animated performances, and an obvious passion for spreading beautiful music around the world.

[@FlatlandMando]

So true. The instrument has a sweet sound but only because the player has those thousands of hours articulating precise finger placement & pressure on each string. Each note pops clean. To be able to do that and sing well. Unbelievable

[@leebatt7964]

Been playing guitar for 30 years, just got a mandolin last moth. I now totally understand the immense talent and genius of this dude.

[@psalmer5690]

Nobody missing LFH more than Chris.

Chris does things again and again that are not possible. But it sure is our good luck and such a blessing on this earth.

[@patrickconnelly8056]

Absolutely masterful. His playing takes me to a new place of consciousness and by the look of him playing he is lifted to a heavenly place!

[@alice151877]

Chris Thile is forever amazing. He made this song so much more than the original version. Just wow.

[@paulcallan8769]

Holy shit......The world is a more beautiful place. Thanks for this today.

[@leehjones]

Thank you Chris. In these times, what you're doing there, Yo-Yo Ma playing Dvorak for everybody - this is how we'll keep our sanity. You stay safe too and we'll all see each other on the other side of this nightmare.

[@RhondaJBartlett]

Who knew a closet would make such a damn good recording studio?! Awesome...thank you Chris!

[@alex0589]

When you go to your uncle's house and he asks you to get something from the fridge he has in the garage and you get there and you find the great genius of the mandolin and Host, Chris Thile in there. Every damn time, am i rite? Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, keep away from propagating stuff to your grandparents. Wash your hands as hard as Chris shreds.

[@bernadetteroberts1540]

say thanks and hug him for all of us! check out The Quarantine Sessions livestreams from Seattle area musicians using venmo/brownpaper tickets etc for the tip jar. Music heals( cyber safe) xos

Thanks for this comment! Spreading the healthy word in a diverse way. Have a good day 🙂

[@izzybeth]

maybe my favorite Wilco song, and this interpretation is phenomenal.

[@aidantalbot9587]

Hi Chris, I've always enjoyed your music but I've never been the biggest fan. This popped up on my youtube feed and now I just cant seem to get enough. Ive listened to it for 3 days straight. What you've created here is magic. You've taken what seems to be a forgettable song and transformed it into something that speaks to this surreal moment on so many levels. Thank you for your gift to all of us.

[@lukepalumbo6506]

Radio Cure is def not a forgettable song

[@lamartimusic]

I love Live from Here, I try to watch every episode whenever I have time, I also happened to see it live here on youtube. Thanks for keeping it going on, even if from home! Ciao :)

[@tombarnes7846]

Great version--would love to hear/see more Wilco covers on the show. Cheers!

Thank you for this gift. 2 years later, and Im still coming back because few performances have ever made me feel quite like this. We're in a different era from when this was recorded, but the message and the beauty of this performance still rocks me to my core. Thank you, Chris.

[@davereichert]

Great cover, Mr. Thile. Luckily I got to see them here (my fourth time!) in Winnipeg last Wednesday, before shows started getting cancelled. When this all blows over, it would be wicked to see you and friends make your way up here, please sir.

[@mandosandradios]

Great Chris. Stay healthy. We need you... :-)

[@local-teen]

Unreal. This just altered - in a profound way. Hopeful now. Still conflicted. - the emotional palette that my mind has been using to render our current situation. Thank you.

[@RonWinter335]

Thanks Chris! Everybody stay sane and safe, wash (your thumbs also) and safely check on your elderly neighbors if you can!! Love...

[@youngtoonfish6891]

I totally love the idea and message you’re sending with this ❤️ Everyone should stay home if possible these days 💪🏻 I’m gonna pick up my mandolin a lot during the next two weeks since my workplace basically send everyone with chronic diseases home.

[@rasm0225]

Absolutely beautiful. And here’s hoping Vulfpeck decide to quarantine together.

[@psandvik]

Radio Cure!

[@MrThorgood]

So good, really helpful in these strange times...

[@erichart2093]

What a powerful and poignant homage

[@anutterperspective]

❤️!

[@TheBookerstein]

Thank you something positive. Music cures

[@jasonb809]

this effing rocks

[@ianc9843]

Damn dude this was great! Just know I sang along with you.

[@RetroGameStream]

Damn your talent is always so impressive! Love this song and love this version of it. Sorry to hear about the show, I'm a big fan. When I heard Prairie Home Companion was getting a new host I was skeptical to say the least. But you and your crew really made it your own and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of luck to you and the Live From Here crew as all of you move into this next chapter in your lives and please never stop playing and singing.

[@davemesker9600]

You Sierra, and Sam are my mandolin heroes
