About Nickel Creek
His jazz and acoustic pedigree is impeccable. There are moments on stage where I look over and think, 'This is why I've been in this band since I was eight'... What we're trying to do is grab a really interesting brush and then blend all the various colors--of all the genres of music we love." Indeed, if you were to check the CD collection in their van, you'll find Elliot Smith, Radiohead, Bela Fleck, Turtle Island String Quartet, Edgar Meyer, Pat Metheny, Murray Perahia and Bach to name a few.
