Nickel Creek joins host Stephen Kallao

Nickel Creek make their long-awaited return with a new record called Celebrants. For their first release in nearly a decade, the Grammy-winning bluegrass band teamed up with Mike Elizondo, the bass playing legend who was a foundation for hip-hop classics by Eminem and 50 Cent. We’ll hear about that collaboration, and about the album’s themes of human connection, in a conversation with Nickel Creek’s Chris Thile and Sara Watkins. Plus, the band performs live.
