Nickel Creek

[lokheed]

Kris and I went out to see Nickel Creek at the Hard Rock Live tonight. The concert was fantastic, just a great show all around.  Chris Thile is amazing to watch playing the mandolin, Sean Watkins surely ain't no slouch on the guitar, and Sara Watkins is both an excellent violinist and a powerful singer.  Plus she can play the ukelele, so that's pretty groovy.  The funniest part of the concert was when they did a cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic".  Now let me be perfectly clear:  the funniest part is not that they did that cover (although that in and of itself is pretty damn funny).  No, the funniest part is that Kris had to lean over and tell me that it was a Britney Spears song, because I had no idea why everyone else in the audience was laughing so hard...
