Nickel Creek was an American acoustic music trio. Although the group's music has roots from bluegrass, the trio describes itself as "progressive acoustic". Nickel Creek consisted of three permanent members: Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and her brother Sean Watkins. The trio has always recorded and toured with a bass player, but no bass player has ever been an official member of the band. Chris's father Scott Thile played bass with the group until 2000, followed by Byron House, and Derek Jones.

  • Nickel Creek was an American acoustic music trio. Although the group's music has roots from bluegrass, the trio describes itself as "progressive acoustic". Nickel Creek consisted of three permanent members: Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and her brother Sean Watkins. The trio has always recorded and toured with a bass player, but no bass player has ever been an official member of the band. Chris's father Scott Thile played bass with the group until 2000, followed by Byron House, and Derek Jones. Mark Schatz has played bass regularly with the group since 2003. In interviews, the band has stressed that they are not a bluegrass band, but a band that "incorporates bluegrass into [its] music". Nickel Creek has covered songs by Weezer, Radiohead, Pavement, Coldplay, Elliott Smith, Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, the Jackson Five and Britney Spears.
  • Nickel Creek ist ein Trio aus San Diego mit Wurzeln im Bluegrass. Die Band besteht aus Chris Thile (Mandoline, Mandola, Gesang, Banjo), Sara Watkins (Geige, Gesang) und ihrem Bruder Sean Watkins (Gitarre, Klavier, Hintergrundgesang). Die Gruppe wurde 1989 gegründet, zusammen mit Scott Thile, dem Vater von Chris, der Kontrabass spielte, nachdem die Wakins und Thile sich bei einem Konzert der Band Bluegrass Etc. getroffen hatten. Das älteste der Kinder, Sean, war zu diesem Zeitpunkt gerade einmal 12 Jahre alt. Aus der Frühzeit der Band stammen zwei Alben, die beide nicht mehr hergestellt werden. Später half ihnen Alison Krauss ihren Stil weiter zu entwickeln und produzierte ihr selbstbetiteltes Album, das im Jahr 2000 bei Sugar Hill erschien. Heutzutage gilt diese Platte als das Major-Debüt der Band. Inzwischen hat sich Scott aus der Band zurückgezogen. Nach mehreren Jahren Tournee mit wechselnden Bassisten füllt jetzt Mark Schatz die Stelle des Tourbassisten aus. Die Gruppe hat inzwischen drei Alben veröffentlicht und 2003 einen Grammy für das "Beste Zeitgenössische Folk-Album" mit This Side gewonnen. Nickel Creek und This Side haben beide Gold-Status für mehr als 500,000 verkaufte Exemplare erreicht. Am 9. August 2005 veröffentlichten Nickel Creek ihr neuestes Album mit dem Namen Why Should Fire Die? Am 14. November 2006 veröffentlichte die Band ein Best of mit Songs der letzten drei CDs und den Live-Versionen von "You Don't Have To Move That Mountain" und dem "Fox"-Medley. Die Band plante Ende 2007, nach ihrer Tour, zu pausieren. Chris Thile und Sara Watkins wollen sich Solo-Projekten widmen, Sean Watkins plant Filmmusik zu komponieren.
  • Nickel Creek es un trío musical acústico estadounidense con raíces en el bluegrass, cuya música suele etiquetarse de newgrass o "bluegrass progresivo". La banda se compone de tres miembros permanentes: Chris Thile, Sara Watkins y Sean Watkins (guitarra). El cuarto miembro del grupo no es fijo, aunque tiene una parte importante en sus conciertos. En los últimos años ha sido Mark Schatz quien ha ocupado este lugar; antes de él habían formado parte del grupo Scott Thile (padre de Chris Thile), Edgar Meyer, Byron House y Robert Trujillo. Durante su carrera discográfica, el estilo musical de Nickel Creek ha evolucionado con la incorporación de elementos propios del rock independiente. Han interpretado temas de Radiohead, Pavement y Bob Dylan. No obstante, sus raíces en el bluegrass continúan siendo el elemento esencial de su trabajo.

Il quarto membro della band non è sempre lo stesso e risulta una componente variabile durante i loro concerti. Questo ruolo è attualmente ricoperto da Mark Schatz, preceduto da Scott Thile, Edgar Meyer, Byron House, e Robert Trujillo. Dai tre album ufficiali della band sembra che lo stile musicale dei Nickel Creek sia passato dal bluegrass moderno all'aggiunta di elementi indie rock, producendo le cover di canzoni di Radiohead, Pavement, Elliot Smith, Jackson Five, Bob Dylan, e anche di Toxic di Britney Spears, che è diventata una delle canzoni preferite dal pubblico ai loro concerti. Nonostante tutto l'importante influenza del bluegrass è evidente in tutti e tre gli album.
