Biography
Nickel Creek are an American bluegrass band traditional enough to have chart-topping albums but whose style draws on influences from rock, folk and jazz. Formed in San Diego in 1989 by multi-instrumentalist Chris Thile and siblings Sara Watkins on fiddle and Sean Watkins on guitar, they played mostly on the festival circuit until bluegrass legend Alison Krauss heard them and produced their Grammy-nominated self-titled debut album, which went to number 13 on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart in 2002.
'This Side' (2002), which won the Grammy Award as Best Contemporary Folk Album, reached number two on the Country Chart and, riding a bluegrass wave boosted by the hit soundtrack from the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou', they also managed to top the Bluegrass Albums Chart. Their other bluegrass number ones are Grammy-nominated 'Why Should the Fire Die' (2005), 'Reasons Why (The Very Best)' (2006) and 'A Dotted Line' (2014), which also topped the Americana/Folk Albums Chart and reached number seven on the Billboard 200. They have received three Grammy Award nominations for Best Country Instrumental Performance for 'Ode to a Butterfly' (2000), 'Smoothie Song' (2002) and 'Scotch & Chocolate' (2005). In the past, they have toured with artists such as Lyle Lovett, Vince Gill and Amy Grant.
