Plot Summary: 26 year-old Chris Thile is at a crossroads. His marriage has ended, and his platinum-selling band, Nickel Creek, has gone on “indefinite hiatus.” But Thile, a perfectionist prodigy who has defied expectations since he picked up the mandolin at age five, has a plan.

Step 1: Write a 45-minute, four-movement elegy to your failed marriage to be played by a traditional bluegrass quintet.
Step 2: Recruit the only musicians around talented enough to play it and crazy enough to sign on.
Step 3: Make a record, launch an international tour and brace yourself.

Filmed with uncommon access, How to Grow a Band explores the birth and evolution of The Punch Brothers: the tensions between individual talents and group identity, between art and commerce, and between innocence and wisdom.
