Chanteuse
et violoniste US née le 8 juin 1981 à Santa Monica (Californie). Sara Watkins
fut membre du groupe Nickel Creek.
Fiddle
player and singer/songwriter Sara Watkins was born on June 8, 1981, in Santa
Monica, CA, and first began performing professionally in 1989 in an early
version of the group that became Nickel
Creek with her brother, guitarist Sean Watkins, and mandolin player Chris
Thile, at That Pizza Place in Carlsbad, CA. Released in 2000,
Nickel Creek's self-titled debut
album, produced by Alison Krauss,
peaked in the Top 20 of the Billboard country chart and remained in the list for
more than a year. The group's second album, 2002's This Side, reached
number two. In 2004, the bandmembers formed an ad hoc group called Mutual
Admiration Society with Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket and John Paul
Jones, formerly of Led Zeppelin; they made a self-titled album and toured. Jones
encouraged Watkins to make a solo album, which she prepared for by playing dates
at the Los Angeles club Largo. She also played on recording sessions as a fiddle
player and/or harmony singer with Hank
Williams, Jr., the Chieftains, Béla
Fleck, Darol Anger, Switchfoot, Jonny Lang, Dan Wilson, Ben Lee, Richard
Thompson, Mandy Moore, and Alex Woodard, among others. Developing as a
songwriter, she contributed to five songs on the
Nickel Creek album Why Should the
Fire Die? The group went on indefinite hiatus after the disc's release, and
Watkins signed to Nonesuch Records and contacted Jones about producing her debut
album. Sara Watkins was released April 7, 2009.
