Hand-Picked Music
Country mavericks Nickel Creek join host Chris Douridas for a surprising and humorous performance/interview on this week's New Ground. Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins take on a Pavement song as well as a Beach Boys classic (in addition to their originals.) They also tell us about the pizza parlor origins of the group and describe their free spirited hybrid approach to bluegrass music.
