Created by Chris Thile and Claire Coffee and hosted by Thile and his fellow Punch Brothers (Brittany Haas, Noam Pikelny, Chris Eldridge, and Paul Kowert), The Energy Curfew Music Hour is a musical variety show that invites audiences to join them in a near future when diminishing resources and extreme weather 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.
 
Chris Thile said, “These evenings at the Minetta Lane Theatre have been magic, and I’m overjoyed that Claire, my fellow Punch Brothers, and I are going to be able to continue exploring the infinite world of acoustic music with a dream carousel of guest collaborators before your very ears on Audible.”
 
Jeremy Blocker, Audible Head of Live Creative Producing, said, “We are proud to bring the boundless creativity of Chris Thile, Claire Coffee, and Punch Brothers back to the Minetta. Their imaginative musical variety show is a true celebration of collaboration. We’re excited to share all that’s in store with New York audiences in the new year, and, later, for this second season to join the brilliant first audio release that is now available to Audible listeners globally.”
 
The first season of The Energy Curfew Music Hour was recorded live in front of sold-out audiences at the Minetta Lane Theatre, featuring musical luminaries including Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell, Jon Batiste, Norah Jones, James Taylor, and many more.
