Buy Tickets Online   Nickel Creek is pulling out the stops for its 2007 tour because there won't be one next year. Maybe not the following... Calling for an "indefinite hiatus," is not hype, but indeed, a needed break. The band's three members - Chris Thile, Sean Watkins and Sara Watkins - have spent two-thirds of their lives in Nickel Creek, creating a mutation of pop-smart bluegrass-influenced music that earned them a still-growing audience. With their virtuosity, surprise covers, ever-changing setlist, and staggering improvisation -- every show is a unique experience. In 2006, their broad appeal secured performances at such diverse festivals as The Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Lollapalooza, Merlefest, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and the Cambridge Folk Festival in the UK.
