About Chris Thile

Mandolinist Chris Thile is among the most highly acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Chris’ captivation with the mandolin began when he was a toddler in Oceanside, California. At age eight, he formed Nickel Creek with Sara and Sean Watkins. The genre-bending trio would go on to sell millions of albums and garner a boatload of honors, including a Grammy and a couple of IBMA Awards. In 2007, Nickel Creek called an “indefinite hiatus,” although they reunited in 2014 and released A Dotted Line (Nonesuch Records).
