For those attending the Oct. 26 broadcast of Live From Here with Chris Thile, unfortunately, Paul Simon has come down with a very bad cold and it has affected his ability to perform on this week’s show. Paul is resting and recuperating, but he’s sorry he’s not able to be there, as he loves the show and is a fan of Chris.
Chris Thile has an incredible program planned this week on Live From Here, including Mavis Staples, Rachael Price of Lake Street Dive, Janeane Garofalo and others! We hope you enjoy the show.
Starting in September, Live From Here with Chris Thile makes Town Hall its new home! Join us Saturdays in the Fall for this exciting national weekly broadcast!

“When Rachael Price opens her mouth and lets loose with her cool cannon blast of a voice, you sort of forget to breathe,” wrote Rolling Stone. This vocal powerhouse and New England Conservatory alum is known to many as lead singer of acclaimed band Lake Street Dive. Other projects include her duo with guitarist/singer/whistler Vilray Bolles, performing original works and reviving forgotten gems of the jazz big bands and western swing ensembles. Last year, Lake Street Dive released Free Yourself Up (Nonesuch).
Guests TBA and subject to change
