About this episode
The Energy Curfew Music Hour returns for Season 2 with a variety of musical guests performing live before a nationwide electricity curfew.
The Grammy-winning Punch Brothers, fronted by Chris Thile, are back for Season 2, bringing you a multi-episode collaborative musical variety show with dazzling musical guests like Billy Strings, Sara Bareilles, Jacob Collier, Shawn Mendes, Meshell Ndegeocello, Andrew Bird, Cecile McLorin Salvant and many more. We join them in an imagined near future when diminishing resources have ushered in a worldwide effort to ration electricity. America has instituted a weekly “energy curfew” where the power grid goes down completely and we all live electricity-free for 24 hours. The Energy Curfew Music Hour hits the airwaves an hour before the lights go out while the nation tunes in and turns off together before the Dark Day. Recorded live in front of an audience, revel in the wild and wonderful joy unleashed in these one-night-only performances. Chris Thile and Punch Brothers help you wind down before you power down. Happy Dark Day, y’all. Sign up for a 30 day free trial to listen to The Energy Curfew Music Hour Season 2 exclusively on Audible: audible.com/curfew .
