Nickel Creek will take a break AFTER 2007 tour
Message from the Band
Dearest Listener,
After seven years of extensive touring in support of three records (seventeen years as a band), we've decided to take a break of indefinite length at the end of 2007 to preserve the environment we've sought so hard to create and to pursue other interests.   It has been a pleasure to write, record, and perform for you through the years and we'd like to heartily thank you for your invaluable contribution to our musical lives.  

Yours,

Nickel Creek
(Sean, Sara, and Chris)
