Nickel Creek with special guest Aoife O’Donovan
32525 Ski Hill Rd - Bayfield, WI 54814
Nickel Creek is the platinum-selling, internationally renowned roots trio of mandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkins. The Grammy-winning band has revolutionized folk and roots music since first performing together as children at a pizza parlor in San Diego in 1989, signing to acclaimed roots label Sugar Hill Records after wowing the bluegrass circuit for a decade. Nickel Creek quickly broke through in 2000 with their Grammy-nominated, Alison Krauss-produced self-titled LP, which showcased not just their instrumental virtuosity but their burgeoning songwriting prowess. The trio quickly followed that effort with This Side, a landmark release that earned Nickel Creek the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album and brought their progressive take on acoustic music to a broader audience, greatly influencing the sound and trajectory of roots music in the process. After a seven-year recording and touring hiatus for the band, Nickel Creek released A Dotted Line in 2014 to critical acclaim and was joyously received by audiences. In the years that followed, Nickel Creek reunited for intermittent live performances and occasionally appeared together on NPR’s “Live From Here” which is hosted by Thile. In early 2023, Nickel Creek announced they would be hitting the road once more as they celebrate the March release of their seventh studio album titled Celebrants.
