They started out playing as little kids. They have a lot of amazing music!
They may play blue grass instruments but they are are as progressive Yes, Rush or King Crimson. Check out live versions of Destination or The Smoothie Song. They are very talented and Chris Thile is one of the best mandolin players in the world. His band Punch Brothers is also amazing. Chris also has a band Goat Rodeo with the great Yoyo Ma. As with all these check out the live versions. It is best to see what they are doing.
This is my all time favorite band, it's so fun watching other people discover them😊
Hi Don, this may not have been the best one to do as your first one. I would suggest you start with something a little less eccentric. Try "When You Come Back Down" or "Reasons Why." One thing you will always get with Nickel Creek is excellent musicianship and great harmonies. Chris Thile is thought to be one of the better mandolin players out there today.
I think you're onto something with the lyrics drawing a connection between celebrants leading communion in church and a band's experience of convening a communal experience with their audience: the cathedral they rebuild nightly together with everyone present. And I think the lyrics are also gesturing towards the pandemic that broke into so much of that communion. Celebrants is the title track of Nickel Creek's most recent album, and it's an album conceived with a theme of picking up the threads of relationships.
I think it's best understood as a "post-Covid" song (as well as the rest of the album), though that might be reductive. The lyrics are, in a basic sense, about welcoming back the experience of live music.
Thanks Don, for the selection and bringing another bluegrass band to the channel. The band is from Southern California. The fiddle player and guitar player are brother and sister. You were so right the song is about the coming together to celebrate fellowship and the taking of communion. On a side note, when I listen to the first reaction video I am usually drinking coffee and still waking up. Today when I read the title my brain read Nickleback and I thought to myself, ok whats Don up to now 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Don. A year or so ago I watched you all the time. I got sucked in to political and serious stuff. It's giving me headaches. I'll never leave you again. 😂
This song is about covid lockdowns and how important fellowship with others is. "That was me preaching communion, even as I prayed for space til it was granted in such profusion that I've about lost my taste for it"
Such a good band. You should check out the mandolin players band - Punch Brothers. Jaw dropping talent. The song Familiarity (any live version) is woth checking out!
This time you may have "j jumped the shark "!!!!--#UTRCM
I was looking forward to a Calif group representing Bluegrass well. This wasn't that!..... Not sure what that was.
Amazing. It was amazing.
