HOORAAAAYYYYY!!!!!! After months and months of collaborative dreaming/sketching/writing/frustration/revision/hope/shedding/terror/determination/joy, fueled by exceedingly light roasted coffee and Home on the Ranges (2oz rye, .5 Cointreau, .5 Carpano Antica, two dashes Angostura, stirred, big rock, lemon and orange peels), @nickelcreek’s fifth LP, “Celebrants,” is out of the nest and would love to take up permanent residence in your ears! The thing that’s being celebrated throughout the course of the record’s 18 interconnected tracks is Togetherness, in all its soul-restoring, heartbreaking, mind-numbing, change-inciting glory, so we highly recommend inviting a couple friends over, maybe making a round of the cocktail above, pressing play, and then talking it all over, whatever “it” may be. We look greatly forward to hearing what you think whenever we see you next, whether it be out by the bus after a show, in an airport, or at a coffee shop, so don’t be a stranger, and thank you so so SO much for continuing to make our band a part of your lives. WE LOVE YOU. Happy listening!!! 🎥: “Celebrants” • Bass: @jeffpicker

I live for evenings like this. Thank you thank you THANK YOU to every wide-open-eared human who attended, to the brilliant @nypmusicians, who put their entire beings into every bar of music, and to the intrepid team @nyphilharmonic team who made it all happen. Long live the 65th Street Session! As for @jacobcollier and @madicunningham: Jacob and Madi, you are music in human form. I love you both so much that I’m tearing up right now mid-post. Here’s to this experience being the first of MANY.

Shh.
The @nickelcreek Celebrants Tour starts TONIGHT, and we need stompclap reinforcement!!!
Quick report from the Celebrants campaign trail: @jimmykimmel and the whole @jimmykimmellive team are a freaking joy to make music for/with. Also, if you need further evidence that @sarawatkins is punk AF, track down this whole performance of “Where the Long Line Leads.” The cortados in pics 4 and 5 are entirely unrelated. Just…I made them earlier this week and wanted to show you because they almost look like something an actually competent barista might make for themselves if they were in a hurry?

ANNOUNCING ACOUSTICAMP! Join me and a dream team of intrepid instructor/collaborators in Glen Cove, NY this summer, as we explore the width and breadth of practice, performance, and composition. We’ll spend our days immersed in instruction, discussion, and demonstration, while our evenings will be devoted to performance (by faculty, guests, AND campers!). There will also be morning and evening listening sessions, accompanied by coffee and cocktails respectively, where attendees will listen to and discuss iconic LPs with the instructors who selected them. What’s more, the entire experience will be bookended by intimate concerts from Nickel Creek and Punch Brothers. In short, it’s going to be REALLY FREAKING FUN (for players AND non-players!), so sign up now, and start preparing to help us take the “amp” out of music camp this summer. Details at the link in bio.
We’d like to send this third single from Celebrants out to anyone who has ever stood in a long line. Or had a big time. Or been tempted to turn themselves into something they’re not to attract greater attention. Or just likes hearing people born in North San Diego County sing and play as hard as they possibly can without hurting themselves. WHEEEEEE!!!
It is my profoundest pleasure to announce the season finale of the 65th Street Session, and WHAT A FINALE IT WILL BE: @coryjwong and @reallouiscato!!! On one freaking stage??? AHHHHHHH!!!! Can Geffen Hall even TAKE the depth of pocket, the openness of ears, the unmitigated JOY that those two hero friends dole out wherever they happen to be (spoiler alert, yes it can, ‘cause it’s one of the best halls in the world, but even it will be like “holy shit, did I really just hear that??”)? Be there or be square, fellow music lover. We are going to have THE FUN. And who knows, there might even be a late inning addition… Limited pre-sale tickets available now with code “MAY65TH”. Link in bio! Xoxo, C
The first and most recent pictures I have taken of @clairecoffee, whom I love to distraction, and whose birthday it is today. To know her is to look like @realbreeturner does in that second pic when you’re with her. Happiest Birthday, my darling!!!
