Nickel Creek are mandolin player Chris Thile, and brother and sister Sean and Sara Watkins on guitar and fiddle. The San Diego group began playing as children for an open mic bluegrass night at a local pizza parlor. Since then they have gone on to sell millions of records, broaden and redefine contemporary pop-bluegrass. They visited the American Routes studio to play a live set.

An encore presentation from the American Routes archives: Since the earliest blues and minstrel tunes to clawhammer bluegrass and forward to traditional jazz and newgrass, the banjo has been a part of American music. This week we recall our visit with Creole jazzman Don Vappie and hear how the instrument is used in New Orleans traditional jazz. And feel the zeitgeist in our interview back when with San Diego-based Nickel Creek during a live set about building onto their bluegrass base and moving beyond--which they have all surely done since.
