In case you didn’t think there was such a thing as progressive acoustic music, Nickel Creek are here to prove otherwise. And in case you don’t think that sounds like a genrre that’s all that viable in commercial terms, consider this, too; the trio’s self-titled album - produced by Alison Krauss - went platinum in the U.S., and they also won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2003. They’d secured a place for themselves as the titans of their genre, but in 2007, they chose to disband so that their individual members could pursue other interests; Sara Watkins, for instance, went on tour with The Decemberists. Earlier this year, though, the three-piece announced that they planned to release a new album, A Dotted Line, at the start of April, followed by a U.S. tour to support it. They’re in the thick of that as we speak, playing with a stripped-down lineup and affording equal representation to each of their albums across the setlists. Their next step is to schedule some European dates, where their fanbase is considerably more niche; if intimate solo shows that Sara Watkins played on these shores during their break are anything to go by, though, there’s certainly an audience for them here.
