A Veeeery Young Nickel Creek! (2 of 3)

[DejaDamascus]

this is the coolest thing i've ever seen

[emilymichellenelson]

I love that Chris and Sean's performing styles haven't changed: Chris moves around and gets into the music, while Sean stands stock-still the whole time. A lot like how they perform now.

[deanthemachine17]

that's so awesome!!

[zoukmaster09]

It's funny to see how much taller Sean is than Chris in this video, knowing how they turned out!

[shimmershine78]

oh my gosh!! freakin adorable!

[kittygomow]

fanfrickintastic!!

[tcap8055]

I only wish i could play guitar as good as Chris here ;) lol  and I'm 25

[big10s4hand]

This is amazing!

1. I love the song. I love the performance. I love Nickel Creek.

2. The little blond boy that walks past the camera twice is me. I was 7 at the time. Now I'm 24. And thats my sister with me. What a trip.

3. I had three relatives play in a lot of these festivals.

[rockinforjesus]

geez, they were ripping at this age, not surprised, they are geniuses, but who knew they'd been playing w/ eachother since birth?

[2the10thdegree]

omg this is in tememcula?

no way thats were i grew up

i miss it so bad

[musicandgod4life]

wow! they are amazing

[box5always]

I worked for his dad at Murray State Univeristy.....Scott Thile. He is the equipment manager there. He tunes pianos, etc. He is a super nice guy.

[longlists]

So cute!!!

[BluegrassForte]

Very nice performance! 5* You all are so talented!

Gretsch'n

[cantstanga]

dude sean is playing guitar he bows when scott announces them

[giggleblaggle]

Does anyone know how old these kids are in this video? Thanks.

[wwfrench]

Chris and Sara would've been about 11, and Sean was about 15.

[MrTimaines]

@giggleblaggle the future bluegrass emmy winning Nickel Creek

[MandolinTory]

whoa, so sean's an awesome mandolin player...wow!

[MandolinTory]

I think you have Chris and Sean mixed up...Chris plays mandolin, Sean plays guitar...

[wwfrench]

No, this is actually right! At the very end of this song, Scott Thile (on bass) says "Sara and Sean Watkins" and then points to his left & right. Chris (on guitar) also extends his arms out in recognition of them. Then, Sean say's "Thank you very much!"

It's crazy I know! :-)

[bmcgee420]

Wow...that's like some paralell universe or something, is it not?

[ladybuggcla]

Well, on their solo stuff they both play a lot of different instruments (for example, Chris's "Deceiver" says "All songs written and performed by Chris Thile"). So...

[Godwillcome]

Yeah. Chris started out on guitar, but switched to mando later.

[seven7arrows]

@wwfrench You're right. Just look at their faces. Chris is playing guitar and Sean has the mandolin.

[kateamericana]

you are silly and if you had bought Little Cowpoke you would have known you are wrong and that sean was taller at that time

[SingerUnkn0wn]

@MandolinTory not in this video. chris is in the middle, sean on the mandolin. they are just that good.

[mandolinking]

Now I will go cry.

[shmergen]

Precocious little buggers.

[littlewingg]

these kids are better at these instruments than most adults

[greenpeacefiddler]

I love Nickel Creek. :)

[bookishgirl190]

Holy MESS! =]

I love it.

This made me grin.

[missmeanie]

dear lord this is so funny
