Nickel Creek, originally from San Diego, rocketed to stardom as a youth band. Its members then went on to individual musical achievement. Two of the three members — Chris Thile and Sara Watkins — are the only persons to host the national public radio program “A Prairie Home Companion” other than Garrison Keillor. The band, including Sean Watkins, is now back together for limited touring dates. The band last toured in 2014.
