There are are scenes in Mark Meatto's documentary, How to Grow a Band, about the progressive bluegrass band, Punch Brothers, that seem to be straight out of Almost Famous.

Ego struggles and innovator's laments (nobody gets us!) are a refrain in many band documentaries. How to Grow a Band adds a modest but effective entry to the genre's back catalog.

Chris E 12 Nov 2012

One of the most lyrical documentary films I've ever seen. Extraordinary musicianship is constantly on display; the short, pithy comments by various members of the Punch Brothers are deftly interwoven among shots of rehearsals and concert performances. Chris Thile's 45-minute "suite for sting quintet" is poignant, sophisticated, and intricate; the group's bravura performance of this piece, most of which is captured in this film, is extraordinary. This is not a standard documentary; in a way, it is a composition as finely and imaginatively executed as Thile's music.

Thile has the charisma, presence, and emotional transparency of a great documentary subject, but How To Grow A Band maintains a respectable distance from its subject that ultimately doesn't work in its favor.

Devotees of folk and bluegrass -- and, of course, diehard Nickel Creek fans -- are the natural audience for this leisurely paced documentary.
