Singer-songwriter and fiddle player, Sara Watkins spent nearly two decades-all of her teenage and young adult life-as one-third of Nickel Creek, the Grammy Award-winning acoustic trio that used contemporary bluegrass as a starting point for its no-genre-barred sound. Along the way, she’s hinted at her desire to do a project of her own. Now, with Nickel Creek on indefinite hiatus, she released her self-titled solo disc, produced by former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. Watkins’ debut has an air of easygoing virtuosity. She displays her skill as a multi-instrumentalist, playing the guitar and ukulele as well as the fiddle, and proves herself to be just as versatile, and breathtakingly mature, as a vocalist.
