Thile kicked off the series on March 16 with a cover of Wilco’s “Radio Cure,” which can be viewed here: https://bit.ly/3c5LgJx. The series garnered attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Esquire and Mother Jones with participants including Sara Bareilles, Michael McDonald, Brian Fallon, Tank and the Bangas, Alex Hargreaves, Rosanne Cash, Jacob Collier, Aoife O’Donovan, Josh Ritter and more.
