I only saw Nickel Creek once before their hiatus in 2007 but that show did have Fiona Apple as a bonus co-headliner. I had just been getting into their boisterous bluegrass and was disappointing to hear they were parting ways (the tour was called Farewell (For Now)). Sure, Chris Thile, Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins are all gifted musicians and went on to put out music under other projects, but the bluegrass collaboration that is Nickel Creek was the foundation of their fan base...

Since Nickel Creek never broke up--they just went on a lengthy hiatus in 2008--it's hard to call this next step a reunion, even if it comes on the band's 25th anniversary. With only three previous studio albums in their slim catalog and with an average age in the early 30s, it's odd to think the trio has been kicking around that long. But you don't get to the level of instrumental proficiency of these three musicians overnight...

Tweet A Blend of the Old and the New Bluegrass indie trio Nickel Creek made waves from 2000 to 2007 for their tactful approach to the genres of folk, bluegrass and country, over time incorporating sounds of alternative rock and pop into their music to wide appeal. After five albums and a commercially successful year of touring and playing festivals, however, the group announced an indefinite hiatus in favor of pursuing individual projects...

In 2007, Why Should the Fire Die? became much more than a rhetorical question for the fans of Nickel Creek. Two years after the release of that album, the group declared it would go on an indefinite hiatus, leaving many aghast. After all, though the trio of Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins, and Chris Thile had been playing and writing music together for eighteen years by that point, during that time they only released three major studio LPs, Nickel Creek (2000), This Side (2002), and Why Should the...

Seven years into an "indefinite hiatus" that pretty much everyone figured was more of a definite thing given all of their solo activities, Nickel Creek have suddenly picked up where they left off. And what a welcome reunion this is. In a chart-friendly "progressive folk" scene overwhelmed by the likes of Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers, hearing the trio that first broke into this territory more than twenty years ago returning to form is a treat...

"There are worse ways/ to start/ the first day, of the rest of my life," Chris Thile sings, and A Dotted Line begins. It's been seven years since Nickel Creek was a touring band, 11 since they won a Grammy under Alison Krauss' helm, and 25 since they first formed. This isn't a requisite reunion, but rather the outpouring of a band at their peak...

A Nickel Creek reunion was perhaps inevitable. Neither Sara Watkins nor Sean Watkins ceased performing together during their seven-year hiatus and while Chris Thile saw some success with the Punch Brothers, the pull of a 25th anniversary reunion was too strong to resist. To accompany a 2014 tour, the trio recorded the new album A Dotted Line, a record that adhered to the group's traditions so much they wound up whittling away most of their progressive leanings...

Nickel Creek didn't officially break up when it went on the dreaded "indefinite hiatus" in 2007, but given the prolific and disparate solo/side-project tracks its three members subsequently followed--and the fact that the hiatus capped a nearly 20-year history for the still-young band--the break certainly seemed more like a period than an ellipsis...

Back in the early 2000s, when Nickel Creek released its breakthrough self-titled album, the trio was playing a brand of Americana that felt wholly alien in the bubblegum-pop landscape of the day. Looking back, those forays seemed like a premonition of the Mumford & Sons stadium-folk revolution to come. Chris Thile and siblings Sara and Sean Watkins have clearly matured since their child-prodigy days (the band formed in 1989 before they were teenagers)...
