Singer, songwriter, fiddle player Sara Watkins was only eight when she, her brother Sean, and Chris Thile started the genre-bending, Grammy-winning trio Nickel Creek. Two decades later — with Nickel Creek on indefinite hiatus — she struck out on her own. Her first solo album, Sara Watkins, was released in 2009. Her latest, Sun Midnight Sun (Nonesuch), came out earlier this year.
