MATCHBOX TWENTY HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE BAND SINCE I WAS A KID!!! Nickel Creek and Thile's other projects give them a run for their money now but still a great band. The guy's name is Matt Beck: he's a great multi-instrumentalist and I've been privileged enough to work with him a few times. NYC based, same downtown scene that I play in. He went to Juilliard. I watched a tape of How Far We've Come a few years ago and noticed that too. He plays the line in the bridge on a f-style. ALSO, there was a Geico ad campaign a few months ago (fall 2012 I think?) featuring two guys playing a mandolin and a banjo. SO COOL. Glad other people are noticing this stuff too!
