Sean Watkins, the guitarist and 1/3 of the voice of Nickel Creek, is the introvert of the group but that doesn't seem to affect his playing. He strums and picks at his guitar with love and gets into his unique kind of groove. Sean Watkins came into this world on February 18, 1977 and is 27(as of '04), the oldest of the group. But he is experienced in his field way beyond his years. "My first instrument was the piano when I was six", Sean recalls. "I took classic instruction for 7 years, but three years into that I discovered seanwatkinsgrass music, through my piano teacher's son, who had a bluegrass band that played every Saturday night at a pizza place in Carlsbad. I really got into it, and when Sara and I met Chris, we started playing with him on Saturday nights too." -seanwatkins.com He began playing mandolin in the early career with Nickel Creek, but switched to his beloved guitar. Sean made it to the National Flatpicking Championship in 1993 at age 16! Now Nickel Creek has exploded in the contemporary folk/bluegrass scene. This Watkins has already released 2 solo albums and appeared on many others. "I've learned now to look back to music that has lasted through the years and to appreciate the timeless value that it has." -Sean Watkins |
