Nickel Creek

I’d heard of this bluegrass trio before lolla thanks to a few friends’ decidedly favorable reviews but had never actually heard them. The twenty minutes of their performance that I saw made me glad to have been exposed to them; the fiddling was light but surefooted and the bassline chugged along like the steady flow of a backyard creek. They even covered a Radiohead song, the title of which escapes me, which sent the crowd into a slow ripple of “ohhh!”s as each audience member realized what the loud speakers were emitting.
