Looks like NPR just posted the Tiny Desk Concert with Nickel Creek. Always fun watching these folks perform.

P.s. This is a great series from NPR if you haven't checked it out before.

Nice. Thile got braces.

Thanks for posting, look forward to watching later today. Love the Tiny Desk concerts.

[Cheryl Watson]

Very nice. REAL mandolin players buy their dream mandolin FIRST and then get braces. You have to get your priorities straight!

Just watched it - fantastic. Extremely enjoyable, but a little humbling to watch musicians of that calibre.

Just watched it too. What a great band.

Priorities Straight, then your teeth!

Wonder how they will impact his singing?

Wonder how they will impact his singing?

I think he'll be fine. I'm sure he thought about that. At length. In any case, it's not a full set. It's just a little patch on the top, which has probably bugged him his whole adult life.

Good for him, catching a breath and taking care of himself. Setting a good example for the rest of us.

Great video clip of wonderful musicians. So let's talk about the mandolin player's tooth braces.

[Michael Bridges]

Wonder if those are X Braces?

"I'm turning myself into something a little less promising, a little more useful." Nice line.

[spufman]

Yeah, that song is full of excellent lines.

[JEStanek]

Such a nice little concert (and a concert series). Thanks for this.

The recent NC show was great, and I like the CD a great deal, but it's i interesting to hear the stripped down, no effects, essence of the songs.

It sounds much better IMO. I'm really not a fan of nickel creek, I've always wanted to like them because they're all really talented. It just doesn't appeal to me usually, however I really liked this set and I'm glad I checked it out.

That Sara Watkins sings with great passion and really tells the story. Nice voice too.
