Nickel Creek
Artist Overview
Bluegrass crossover phenomenon Nickel Creek had a considerable head start on its competition; its members started performing together in the late 1980s when they were still children. By the time they were teenagers, the young virtuosi (mentored by the esteemed bluegrass artist Alison Krauss) had broken through to the mainstream in a big way. Their mix of bluegrass tradition and contemporary pop sensibility earned them a huge audience via their self-titled 2000 debut album, nicely dovetailing with the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU-inspired revival of interest in bluegrass.
