Nickel Creek is an American bluegrass revival band that was founded in 1989 in Vista, California. Originally known as The Nickel Creek Band, they gained popularity for their unique blend of traditional bluegrass with contemporary influences. After a successful career spanning nearly two decades, the band disbanded in 2007. With their virtuosic musicianship and heartfelt lyrics, Nickel Creek has left a lasting impact on the bluegrass genre.

“My God it’s good to see you...”
That first line from Nickel Creek’s seventh album Celebrants likely prophesies the warm
response awaiting the Americana-bluegrass group’s first all-new release in nine years.
 While the Grammy-winning trio of singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalists Sara Watkins
(fiddle), Sean Watkins (guitar), and Chris Thile (mandolin) had sporadically collaborated since
2014’s A Dotted Line, a 2020 interview pegged to the twentieth anniversary of Nickel Creek’s
debut album ignited a spark. “It was fun to have a reason to wax nostalgic about some stuff
that we'd done,” says Thile. “And then when we got together, it was just so clear, ‘Oh, yeah,
we've got some new music to make.’"
 They certainly did. The long layoff yielded a bounty of 18 interconnected songs written
collectively during a creative retreat in Santa Barbara in early 2021. The tracks form a mosaic
that is beautiful from a distance, but each tile also tells its own story.
 “We wanted it to be our most ambitious album,” says Sean Watkins, “meaning spending the
time that we've never had to fully explore our musical ideas and take them as far as we
possibly can.”
 To assist in bringing that vision to fruition the Watkins siblings and Thile decamped to RCA
Studio A in Nashville with trusted producer Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Grace
Potter, Weezer) and recruited Grammy-winning producer-songwriter Mike Elizondo (Fiona
Apple, Eminem, Joy Oladokun) to hold down bass duties and serve as another set of ears.
 The result is perhaps the most audacious yet accessible release of the Grammy-winning
trio’s 34-year career.
 The wide-ranging soundscapes include the melodic pop elation of “Celebrants,” the gauzy,
the hazy harmonic swirls of “The Meadow,” the gentle balladry of “Holding Pattern,” and the
yearning “Failure Isn’t Forever,” which brightly bends towards hope. The entire enterprise is,
naturally, shot through with the trio’s virtuosic picking and shiver-inducing harmonies. The
lyrics - addressing love, friendship, time, and the universal travails of travel - combine the
poetic and plain-spoken, hitting a sweet spot of ethereal and relatable as bridges are built,
crossed, burned, and rebuilt.
 “My favourite music is beautiful or exciting and makes me curious and think ‘I want to hear
that again!’” says Sara Watkins. “In the first day or two of writing we knew that we wanted
each song to stand alone as something that's special and complete, but in the context of a
complete album, each song just has a whole new dimension.”
