My guest this week is Gabe Witcher.

Just a couple of days before we recorded this, Gabe played his last shows with Punch Brothers, the band he was a founding member of and was in for 18 years.

We chat about how the band came together, what the early years were like and why now felt like the right time to move on. We also talk about what's next for Gabe, including continuing his work as a  producer and arranger.

It was a joyous conversation and a real treat to get to be a part of. Punch Brothers are one of my favourite bands and getting to chat about their journey and hear Gabe's thoughts and insights was fantastic. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
