Nickle Creek Performs at ACL Live


Celebrating twenty five years together, and ending a seven year hiatus, Nickle Creek stopped by Austin City Limits - Live at the Moody Theater for shows on August 23 and 24 and then also taped a performance for the 40th season of the Austin City Limits television show on August 25. The trio, made up of siblings Sara and Sean Watkins as well as Chris Thile, formed in 1989 and released 6 albums between 1993 and 2006. They won a Grammy Award in 2003 for Best Contemporary Folk Album, but then went on an indefinite hiatus in 2007. The band reunited and released a new album, A Doted Line,  on April 1, 2014.

The setlist with Nickle Creek's show included selections from both old and new albums such as "Scotch and Chocolate," "Destination," "The Lighthouse's Tale," and "Hayloft."
