I remember listening to them when I was in 7th grade, then I stopped after a while, then my boyfriend got me into the Punch Brothers and I realized Chris Thile was a part of both. Then when i learned that Chris Thile and Michael Daves got together, I thought my brain would explode. I saw Thile and Daves at the Ryman on June 28. BEST SHOW EVER
I love Nickel Creek & I am SO glad to hear that they continue to be so close & that we will likely hear more from them in the future, even as they all explore their talents and abilities in different musical directions.
For anybody who has come here and is reading the comments about Nickel Creek breaking up, they just took a long break. They have a new album out as of April 2014. Get it; it's fantastic.
I wasn't aware Nickel Creek disbanded in 2007; they renewed my listening of bluegrass; their youth and musicianship blew me away and frankly I miss their music.
This is the Nickel Creek I fell in love with...I miss this era. Sean was sooo handsome then--I was crazy about him! I miss the innocence of them--when their career began to blossom. I continue to listen to their old stuff, not really a fan now. But, I wish them the best of luck.
Nelson Robert Willis Not to get into detail...but I met Sara once, and, needless to say, it wasn't a pleasant encounter! So from that moment on I stopped listening to their music--I just listen to the old stuff.
Aargh it cant be true that they are no more. That s hard to take as they are / were so amazing, and why aint there 3 million views insraed of 3 thousand for these musical heroes.
WHOA!!! Man that is some SERIOUS SHREDDING what INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS, I'm Just finding out about this Band JESUS works in mysterious ways INDEED! LOVE.......🎸💚
then chris thile broke up with god, got a divorce, assembled the most badass musicians in the world and produced the greatest piece of acoustic music ever of 40 minutes in 4 suites
@garter10895 Sean's just doing some improv comping on some maj7 and 9 chords there...showing a little skill in walking a bass line at the same time...some jazz and swing style of rhythm playing....
Well, It is interesting to go back and see the side of these guys that was being marketed (intentionally or not) as a "Christian" group. As Derek Webb says, how can music be Christian? How can it have personal salvation? Anytime the term "Christian" is used for something other than a person, it is a marketing term.
For those who are watching in 2023. They just released the album Celebrants and it's a blast
Favorite album of 2023, hands down. Also Creek's best by a wide margin
The nickels are the best❤❤❤❤ love them so much

I think it's there best album
Great documentary; Nickel creek is in a league of their own!
I am so amazed at where these kids have gone.

They were such babies!

+tramaine1981 she always looks so grumpy
jprmac1 I know tell me about it! Bluegrass is supposed to make you happy,am I right?
Way before this Thile could smoke pros. A brilliant prodigy. The Watkins are super talented as well.
A symphony of bluegrass, pop and all they probably learned.

Ohhh yessss
You obviously have wonderful taste. Instant sub 💜
WHOA!!! Man that is some SERIOUS SHREDDING what INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS, I'm
Just finding out about this Band
JESUS works in mysterious ways
INDEED! LOVE.......🎸💚
Amazing musicians, why werent they top ten hit makers. Nominations is one thing, but the fans want to hear the radio play rotation. Love this band
This was the first band I ever got into. I was probably 7 or 8. Now the Punch Brothers are one of my favorite bands. Those two bands changed my life!
Other than The Beatles, no other band has made an impact on my life - 16:50

I'm still getting to know his work. Which piece are you referring to?
I didn't know you could "break up with God",
@garter10895

Does anyone know what Sean's playing at 5:55?
Anyone know the song they are playing at around 6:41? Or is it just a random jam with Vince Gill?
@outofblue8 Thank you!!
Crap....he's always been sickeningly brilliant.
What happened to the family, was there bad blood or did they just get tired?
Love them.
Posted a while ago and know they disbanded but wtf? They were awesome!
@MrKangtastic It is "Bury Me Beneath the Willow". Chris just put out a version of it with Michael Daves. watch?v=Kh2J-c7VZAc
no bad blood..... eventually you gotta step away from family a little to grow up.
"we try to imitate God" - Chris Thile....alright, settle down now.
Sara is still a beauty
This is great! Thanks for posting.
I know it's not a competition, but Chris Thile wins
They are amazing live... saw them at the 9:30 club in DC. Best live show I’ve ever seen.

Just found these guys. Wish they were still around
They are.
