It was a forgone conclusion. They got their start by winning the TBF contest. If they were planing a reunion tour and album, Telluride was definitely going to be on their list. Ferg also hinted towards it right after last year's festival.

They went down hill at the end. Will this Nickel Creek  be the one of the first album or the Thile infused oddities to break up nice melodies ang songs?

I'd much rather see the Watkins without Thile myself, but hopefully Chris won't force this version of Nickel Creek to go down roads of harsh chords and ugly lyrics.

There are 1,000 artist I'd rather see at TBF. But we all need to take a shower at some point.

Well, since the news from the band made it out before I could get here to announce, I'll just pop in here to confirm that they are playing the 41st annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival! :hop


Personally, I'm very excited about this set. Nickel Creek is one of my favorites, and I'm thrilled that they are making music again!

Cheers

Kinda figured this would work out, and it's the news I really wanted to hear.  So thank you.

Apollo, if I ever admitted whose set I chose to miss nearly EVERY year for my shower, my bluegrass friends would shower me with insults.  But it only goes to prove that there would never be a festival that only booked artists that you really love, unless you somehow got to be as rich as the founder of Hardly Strictly and booked it yourself. 

And who knows?  Maybe if you give NC a try that you might be surprised how much you enjoy them.  Certainly they'll be playing some of the songs you liked from their early albums (before they went so "downhill"), and the new stuff could be right up your alley.

Hey, even if you don't like 'em, ya gotta shower SOMETIME!

Chris Thile, while one of the most technically skilled mandolin players on the planet, usually leaves me feeling empty. But I never got the chance to see him with Nickel Creek. What I know of their music, I have enjoyed. I look forward to seeing this set and seeing why they're one of the most popular bluegrass inspired acts of the past 20 years.

Maybe NC will break out their cover of "Toxic" by Brittney Spears. I haven't seen them since 2006 and for some reason that
choice of cover still amuses me.
