I apparently have no idea how to use tumblr any more and keep accidentally unfollowing and re-following people and then also don’t know who anyone is. Like… we apparently know each other, but I have no idea who you were when we followed each other in 2016. Please help. How do I know any of you?

Punch Brother Gabe Witcher to Leave Band after 18 Years

- Brittany Hass to be New Punch Sister

Fiddler Gabe Witcher is leaving the Punch Brothers 18 years after co-founding the band.

Witcher, who recently did the arrangements for Rhiannon Giddens’ symphonic concerts, “has decided it’s time for the next step in his musical journey,” the band said in a statement.

His last gig is June 18 at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado.

The spilt is amicable and the group will continue with “new sibling” Brittany Haas.

“We feel so lucky to have been able to build this band with (Witcher), and will continue to look to him for inspiration as we move forward,” the Punch Brothers said.

Hass, who also plays with Crooked Still and Hawktail (with Punch Brother Paul Kowert) and just released a duo album, Haas, with her sister Natalie, is being warmly welcomed.

“You’re freaking amazing and we’re so, so excited to start mixing up the next batch of Punch with you,” the band said.

After basically 5 years away, I really don’t understand how to use most of the functions of this website. This must be what it feels like to move away from home and then return for the first time in a decade only to see that all of the shops have changed and highway overpasses redone with that inverse figure 8 and a surprise roundabout.
