Punch Brothers and Jeff Tweedy Team Up for the PB&J Tour, Seven Cities From Pennsylvania to Florida Before Setting Sail on Cayamo
The bluegrass quintet backs the Wilco frontman on his songs, and Tweedy returns the favor on theirs, across a co-headlining run in February 2027.
Two of the most inventive names in American music are joining forces. Punch Brothers and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy have announced the PB&J Tour, a seven city co-headlining run from February 17th to the 25th, 2027, that travels from Pennsylvania to Florida. The format is the real draw. Punch Brothers will back Tweedy on his songs, and Tweedy will sit in with the bluegrass quintet on theirs, so the shows are built around collaboration, not a standard double bill.
Two Acts, One Stage
Punch Brothers are Chris Thile, Chris Eldridge, Paul Kowert, Noam Pikelny, and fiddler Brittany Haas, and they are touring behind The Unsung Adventures of Punch Brothers, their first all instrumental album and the first to feature Haas. Tweedy continues to tour behind Twilight Override, his thirty song triple album released in September 2025. The pairing has a history. In December 2017, Punch Brothers served as the house band for a Live From Here broadcast at The Town Hall in New York City, where they backed Tweedy on Wilco’s “Poor Places,” and he joined the finale, a cover of the Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York.”
The Route
The tour opens at the Appell Center for the Arts in York, Pennsylvania, on February 17th, followed by the Paramount Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the 19th and the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, North Carolina, on the 20th. It continues to the Gogue Performing Arts Center in Auburn, Alabama, on the 21st, then turns to Florida with Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on the 23rd, The Parker in Fort Lauderdale on the 24th, and a finale at Steinmetz Hall at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando on the 25th.
Then Out to Sea
The run does not end in Orlando. Both acts head to Miami to board the Norwegian Jewel for the 19th edition of Cayamo: A Journey Through Song, which sails February 26th through March 5th, 2027. The lineup also includes Molly Tuttle, Ketch Secor, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Loudon Wainwright III, Hayes Carll, Valerie June, and Aoife O’Donovan, along with a special set by Crooked Still.
