NICKEL CREEK IN CONCERT:
Seven years after their 2007 Farewell (For Now) Tour, contemporary bluegrass trio Nickel Creek are making good on their promise of a reunion, hitting the road in support of 2014's A Dotted Line —their first new album since 2005. Featuring innovative fiddle, mandolin, and guitar work, the group's acoustic performances are an impressive display of coordination, highlighted by tight instrumental interplay and intricate vocal harmonies. Celebrating 25 years since their formation, Nickel Creek's 2014 tour will treat fans to their biggest hits alongside material from the new album, with select appearances by country sweethearts the Secret Sisters.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed by Chris Thile and siblings Sara and Sean Watkins in 1989, Nickel Creek began performing as pre-teens, playing bluegrass festivals in the '90s while receiving home-schooling between tour dates. Following two early albums, the trio teamed up with country-folk legend Alison Krauss for their self-titled third album, a critical and commercial success that received several Grammy nominations. 2002's This Side proved an even more momentous success, earning the group a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album with its creative blend of indie rock and traditional bluegrass elements. Following the 2005 release of their Grammy-winning fifth album Why Should the Fire Die?, the band went on a seven-year hiatus before making a triumphant return to both studio and stage with 2014's A Dotted Line.
I’ve seen Nickel Creek at several venues (Buffalo, Toronto, Boston) and this show was the best ! Their mid-tour performance shows they are very comfortable with each other and excelled in their musicianship. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Absolutely amazing! The best of the best. It was everything my wife and I had hoped for and more.
They are wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it. The song “Holding Patterns” was one of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing them again in the future!
Fantastic venue. Comfortable seats with good atmosphere. Had a great time seeing Nickel creek for the first time! They are amazing musicians and can really put on a great show.
This is the 3rd time that I have seen this group and the first time in over 15 years. They sounded as great as ever. Super talented group.
They were phenomenal. All 4 musicians are first rate. Broaden your musical horizon with this bluegrass heavy band.
I love bluegrass and Nickel Creek is blue grass on steroids! I brough a total of 5 people. We all walked away over-the-top impressed. I am SO glad they are doing music again together. Love Nickel Creek!
Nickel Creek’s reputation for virtuosity in performance is irrefutable. That stated, the sound support at the Kodak Center was exemplary. The acoustic sonics were wholly representative of the instruments and voices, yielding an extraordinary experience where nuanced timbre was discernible.
A friend recommended I attend a concert with Nickel Creek. I knew of them, but had not delved deep into their music. I was blown away - all of them are exceptional individually, and collectively creatively masterful. It was the most incredible concert I have ever been to.
Nickel Creek is one of the best performing shows I’ve ever seen. You can tell they truly love what they do and it comes through every song and every note. My husband loves them and plays their music frequently, and was so impressed with their set! He thoroughly enjoyed himself and so did I! Each individual so clearly in tune with their instruments and as a group they really create something special. Absolutely beautiful performance. No wonder they’re still going strong!!!
