Nickel Creek comes to the Uptown Theater on Tuesday

Nickel Creek shattered hearts of Americana fans across the country in 2007 when it announced an “indefinite hiatus.” The band had risen to the same commercial fame as the craftsmen behind O Brother, Where Art Thou? only to hit the brakes. Reigning Americana queen Alison Krauss had even produced the band’s seminal 2000 self-titled album and its 2002 follow-up, This Side.

It came as an immense relief then, in April, when Nickel Creek reunited for its 25th anniversary with a surprise new album, A Dotted Line — a brief but highly satisfying return to its roots. Bonus: Young mandolin prodigy Sarah Jarosz opens the show.
