February 8, 2007 | World's Best Musician
Congratulations to mandolinist extraordinare, Chris Thile on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2007 winning of "Best Musician of the Year." We've felt he was deserving of this kind of accolade years ago with the initial release of his recording "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" a blistering display of mandolin prowess and compositional recording mastery. Since then, he's partnered with Mike Marshall on two incredible duo recordings, Into the Cauldron and Live Duets, toured with bassist Edgar Meyer and violinist Hilary Hahn, and of course crossed into mainstream popularity with fabulous beyond-their-years masters Nickel Creek.
The mandolin world is fortunate to be able to claim and look up to this amazing musician. Achieving further current and critical acclaim with his current touring Neo-bluegrass incarnation, How to Grow a Band, we know we can expect much more from this amazing world-renown talent.
Nice going, Chris!
