[10] Nickel Creek played many renowned bluegrass festivals throughout the nineties, but by the mid-nineties, the three members of the band had to be home-schooled to accommodate their busy schedule. Homeschooling (also called home education) home learning or homeschool  – is the education of children at home typically by parents or professional "The school wasn’t really cool with us missing the first two weeks of school and the last week of school," recalled Sara Watkins, "just because there were some really great festivals back east.

For Nickel Creek's next album release, the trio was in need of a producer, and Alison Krauss filled that position. Nickel Creek (2000 is an eponymous album by the acoustic /" newgrass " trio known as Nickel Creek. Alison Krauss ( born July 23 1971 is an American bluegrass - country singer and Fiddle player Sara Watkins discussed their affiliation with Krauss in a 2000 interview.

“We started discussing possibilities for a producer, but hadn't decided. We played a show at the Ryman and we were opening for a band that included Tony Rice and Dan Tyminski. The Ryman Auditorium is a 2362-seat live performance venue located at 116 Fifth Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee, U Alison Krauss and Ron Block were there. They came up and talked to us afterwards and were really enthusiastic about our show. So, we thought, 'WHAT IF. . . ' Alison WAS kind of excited and just maybe she'd produce our CD. And she DID! Barry Poss of Sugar Hill asked her and we were just thrilled. We really needed vocal help. We've never been that insecure about our instrumentals, but vocals were another thing. They were weak points for us but are getting stronger, thanks to the work Alison has done with us. Alison just brought so much to the production of the CD. She was very good at spotting things that wouldn't last on a CD. [12]”

Krauss produced their self titled 2000 release on Sugar Hill, which was widely considered their first major release. It was their most successful album to date, certified gold in 2002 and platinum later on. Critics responded favorably to the album, with All Music Guide giving it four and a half stars out of five. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide.

In 2002, the band released their third album This Side. The album was a major transition from their previous releases, the first two being purely bluegrass. Although the core influence of bluegrass remained throughout the album, many other genres were present, such as indie rock and folk rock (the band covered Spit on a Stranger by Pavement, and Should've Known Better by Carrie Newcomer). Indie rock is genre of Alternative rock that primarily exists in the independent Underground music scene Folk rock is a musical genre combining elements of Folk music and rock music. " Spit on a Stranger " is the name of a single by the indie-rock band Pavement, coming from their final record Terror Twilight. Pavement was an American Indie rock band in the 1990s Although they experienced only moderate commercial success they achieved a significant cult Carrie Newcomer (born on May 25, 1958 in Dowagiac Michigan) is an American Singer and Songwriter. When discussing the album in an interview from Barnes & Noble, Chris Thile described it:

“We're not content to just go a little further. Barnes & Noble Inc is the largest book retailer in the United States, operating mainly through its Barnes & Noble Booksellers chain of Bookstores It's been three years since we recorded the first album, and I think people are forgetting that because all the attention has come in the last year. So the response is almost like, "Well, is it a concept record?" It certainly isn't; it's just who we are. People who ask that question have no concept of what we were like three years ago, before the first album came out. They also need to understand that [because of our youth], three years in our lives is a much larger percentage of how long we've lived. So there's going to be more change per year. We're growing and we're together all the time, so we're constantly trying to figure out new stuff. [17]”

As with Nickel Creek, critics responded positively to This Side. Charles Spano of All Music Guide said that "Thile and the Watkins siblings' originals, like the sleepy, subtle "Speak" and the darker "Beauty and the Mess," easily outdo the likes of folk-rockers Dave Matthews and Hootie & the Blowfish, while forging a new style to rejuvenate a genre that has always been a bit of a dark horse. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide.

"[18]

This Side entered the Billboard 200 at #18 on the chart, and at #2 on the magazine's Top Country Albums chart. The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard [19] The album was soon certified gold the following year of its release by the RIAA. [20] The success of This Side earned the group several awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The Grammy Awards (originally called the Gramophone Awards)—or Grammys —are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album was first awarded in 1987 [7][3] The band was featured in Rolling Stone's "Best Of 2002" edition following the release of This Side. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published [3]

During the 2002 and 2003 This Side tour, Nickel Creek performed mainly as an headlining act, but also opened five shows for John Mayer in November 2002 in Upstate New York and New England,[21] and toured with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings earlier in the year.

Why Should the Fire Die?: 2005

Main article: Why Should the Fire Die?

After three years since the release of This Side, Nickel Creek released their fourth album Why Should the Fire Die?. Why Should The Fire Die? is the third major album release and fifth album overall by progressive acoustic trio Nickel Creek. The album brought more rock and pop influences to Nickel Creek, just as This Side did. Chris Thile discussed the band's genre and style in a 2005 interview from Jambase: We actually feel like more than a bluegrass band that stretched out. We are a band that incorporates bluegrass into our music. There's been a problem in perception. 'Bluegrass band leaves the fold' (uses a news announcer voice). No, no, no, no, no. Actually, it's a band that incorporates a little bluegrass into whatever the hell kind of music they play. "[4] Sean Watkins also said:

“Well, actually, I think this record that we’re doing, it’s not moving farther away from bluegrass, I mean – we’ve always been far away from our bluegrass roots, I don’t think this record is much farther away than the last one. It’s just different. This record – I think it sounds more like we do I think than anything we’ve ever done. It’s a lot more rock I think than our first two, and there’s some stuff that’s farther out than we’ve gone, and there’s some stuff that’s very, that’s more roots–oriented. So I wouldn’t say that the whole thing is farther away. [9]”

Why Should the Fire Die? debuted and peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Billboard bluegrass chart. The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard [7]

In the summer of 2006, Nickel Creek appeared at numerous music festivals including Bonnaroo,[24] High Sierra Music Festival, Austin City Limits,[25] SXSW,[26] Lollapalooza,[27] and Star Fest.

Farewell (For Now): 2006–2007

In late summer 2006, via Billboard and their official website, Nickel Creek announced that at the end of the year they would no longer be recording together as a group and their tour scheduled through 2007 would be their last for an indefinite period of time. According to Thile, "It's always been so natural, but lately it hasn't been quite as natural and we're running the risk of actually having to break up. We would rather leave it for a while, while it's still intact and healthy. "[29]

Sean Watkins stated that all three members were ready to expand their musical horizons by experiencing real life again: "When you're on the road all the time and meet all these people who love your music, you can't always relate to them because stuff never happens to you. We're supposed to be writing songs that relate to other people. . . I need to be out there and having a different life than that. I am ready to write about real things again. "[29]

In 2006, Nickel Creek planned the Farewell (For Now) Tour, which was originally intended to be called the Victory Lap Tour, but the band's managers thought it would make them sound "presumptuous and boastful". [31] The seven month long Farewell (For Now) Tour started in April 2007 and ended in November 2007. In a statement at the start of the tour, Nickel Creek said that they "wanted to do this in a positive way and take that last lap before our break. We want to see our fans one more time and play with the musicians that have inspired us over the years. "[32] The tour featured numerous guest appearances by Glen Phillips,[33][34] Jon Brion,[2] Fiona Apple,[35][36][37][38] Bruce Molsky,[39] Bela Fleck,[37] Tom Brosseau,[37] and Tift Merritt, among others.

[40] The performances still took place, and were the last before the hiatus. [41]

Looking back on the Nickel Creek experience, which spanned eighteen years, Sara Watkins said, "A lot of the other stuff will be special in the way that anything is special when you realize that it’s not going to be around forever. . . Nothing is going to be Nickel Creek except Nickel Creek. I’m not looking for anything to top this. It can’t be duplicated in my life. "[42]
