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 was happy to treat my parents to the Nickel Creek concert. We had a fabulous time. I was so impressed with the facility, the musicianship, and the performance. The lighting added so much to the show's effect. Thank you for a great time!
Everything was beautifully done from the stage to the humor and crowd banter. These folks know how to perform and make you feel like family. I have loved growing up with them in the background! Thank you Nickel Creek for sharing your talents with us in such a magical way!
The concert was FANTASTIC! Nickel Creek are simply amazing. We were at the Ryman shows in September, and drive from north of Nashville to see them again. My only complaint was that the sound was a little covered where we were, Left side of section 4, row C, seats 1-5. It was most noticeable on Saras mic. But even with that, it was amazing. They are so incredibly talented. Hoping they will tour again in the near future.
Perfect experience from ticket purchasing to parking, eating at the venue, and the awesome show! The lights, the music, and the message was just what I needed.
To finally see Nickel Creek in person on stage was a time I will never forget. This band has the most harmonious and talented musicians I have heard and watched in a long time. The performance was consistently energetic and the dancing while they played just made me a very happy person. Thank you Nickel Creek for giving it your ALL and thank you Tennessee Theatre!
Great talent. Such a fun show!! We had a wonderful time. And the opening performer was such an unexpected treat.
Nickel Creek was absolutely amazing. They are so incredibly talented. I can’t wait to see them again!
One of the most talented groups around, great show from start to finish!
Great show as usual! The amount of talent they have is incredible
The concert was excellent. Nickel Creek are fantastic musicians. The Johnny Mercer Theater is a big venue with many empty seats for this concert. Our original balcony seats were in row X -- almost to the back. We were able to move closer. Parking was $5 and easy. We enjoyed the concert.
