Nickel Creek: no more
28th August, 2006Well, not until the end of 2007…but it’s still a sad day. This letter was sent to their listserv & posted on nickelcreek.com today:
Dearest Listener,
After seven years of extensive touring in support of three records (seventeen years as a band), we’ve decided to take a break of indefinite length at the end of 2007 to preserve the environment we’ve sought so hard to create and to pursue other interests. It has been a pleasure to write, record, and perform for you through the years and we’d like to heartily thank you for your invaluable contribution to our musical lives.
Yours,
Nickel Creek
(Sean, Sara, and Chris)
I don’t really expect any of them to be as great in their solo projects as they have been as a cohesive group…especially given the solo records to date. I saw them tear the roof off of the Stevens Center in 2001 and again at the Fox Theatre in 2005 [along with a couple less than spectacular performances in between ... i blame the crowd]. I’m sad to see this amazing collaboration come to an end.
RIP Nickel Creek, 2000-2007
[only counting their careers from their self-titled release on ... basically their departure from being kids into being artists]

When you come back down
