Pastures New

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I thought perhaps a few might enjoy this soothing instrumental called “Pastures New” by Nickel Creek. It brings to mind open spaces, the beauty of the countryside, joy tinged with longing.

Nickel Creek is an American bluegrass band consisting of some incredibly talented musicians: Chris Thile on mandolin, and siblings Sara Watkins on fiddle and Sean Watkins on guitar. Formed in 1989 in California, they released six albums between 1993 and 2006. The band broke out in 2000 with a platinum-selling self-titled album produced by Alison Krauss, earning anumber of Grammy and CMA nominations.

Their fourth album “This Side” won a 2003 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. After a fifth studio album and a compilation album, the band announced an indefinite hiatus at the conclusion of their 2007 Farewell (For Now) Tour. The artists continued to get back together periodically for projects. On February 9, 2021, Nickel Creek announced a series of livestream concerts on Feb. 21 and 28 as the start of a new series known as Livecreek. They continued to release other streams throughout early 2021

Thank you, Jim Adams, for hosting Song Lyric Sunday so faithfully!

Happy Sunday all!

  3. Beautiful music, and who needs lyrics anyway!

    I have all of Nickel Creek’s albums, a big fan. Sara Watkins is now with Aiofe O’Donovan and Sarah Jarosz in I’m With Her – you’ll love them too, if you don’t already know them.
