Sara Watkins is the sister of Sean Watkins who both comprised the trio that was Nickle Creek. Nickle Creek was a spin off of conventional Bluegrass which made the once obscure musical genre accessible for mainstream listeners.
With the break-up of Nickle Creek the members have all been off doing their own projects. Sara Watkins recently came out with her "Self-Titled" debut c.d.. I immediately picked it up being a fan of her lovely vocals and fiddle play. If you enjoy good folk music or were a fan of Nickle Creek, it is worth the $14.00. For me personally I was on a musical dry spell and found the c.d. especially gratifying.

Steve,
You should really check out the Avett Brothers! They are my favorite band! They have been dubbed "punk/alt bluegrass" but I just don't think there is a sufficient definition.
