Nickel Creek -

Acclaimed trio with a distinctive brand of 21st century folk, as well as an ear for the contemporary classics. Nickel Creek 'favours substance over gee-whiz displays of youthful dexterity. Of course, there's plenty of lithe, sophisticated and dazzling instrumental work, mostly on original tunes that overlay bluegrass roots with Celtic and new acoustic music influences.'
