” before taking on its own name and identity, has been canceled, American Public Media Group announced Tuesday.
Thile, the dexterously multitalented member of the Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek who took over “Prairie Home Companion” from Garrison Keillor in 2016, tweeted about the end of his four-year run as host.Not one live broadcast has gone by where I didn’t thank my absurdly lucky stars for your wide open ears and hearts,” Thile wrote. “Over the weekend, I was informed that American Public Media will no longer be producing the show.
“Live From Here” was produced in a concert setting in cities around the country, as Keillor’s show had been before it. During the quarantine, Thile had continued hosting new editions of the show with remote contributions, the last of which, apparently unbeknown to him at the time, was this past weekend, with Rufus Wainwright and the War & Treaty among the musical guests.
