Nickel Creek
with special guest The Staves
A sum of more than their staggering parts, Nickel Creek is the trio that revolutionized bluegrass and folk in the early 2000s and ushered in a new era of Americana music. After a nine-year absence, mandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins, and guitarist Sean Watkins returned with Celebrants–a bounty of 18 disparate but loosely connected songs addressing love, friendship, time, and the universal travails of travel. The band’s live performance will be, as always, shot through with the trio's virtuosic picking and shiver-inducing harmonies.
