Noam Pikelny and Friends at Pepperdine

Noam Pikelny, a founding member of the Grammy-winning Punch Brothers, has redefined what it means to be a modern banjoist. Widely regarded as one of the finest players of his generation, Pikelny brings a singular blend of technical mastery, dry wit, and creative daring to everything he touches. His solo release, Universal Favorite, marked a bold step forward—an intimate, unaccompanied exploration of both original works and carefully chosen covers.
