Nickel Creek & Mike Marshall and Chris Thile in Fort Collins

Air dates: Mar 08-Mar 14, 2006
Tape location:Lincoln Center Performance Hall, Ft. Collins, CO

The dynamic trio, Nickel Creek, return to etown for this special re-broadcast recorded at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, CO. With a style and sound all their own, Sara and Sean Watkins and Chris Thile perform their own contemporary songs deeply rooted in bluegrass tradition. Also, mandolin virtuosos Chris Thile & Mike Marshall strut their string stuff in a duo performance. The chemistry expands when host Nick Forster joins them on some tunes. There's a compelling 'in-person' e-chievement award winner, too, and a great collaborative finale featuring our guests, Helen, Nick, and Ron Jolly from the etones to fill out an hour of great radio, right here in etown.

e-chievement award: Maury Albertson, Ph.D., Village Earth
Maury is a civil engineer, and has traveled internationally as part of his work for nearly 60 years. He also is a co-founder of the Peace Corp, and networked extensively with the volunteers. Based on his experience and observation, he came to believe that poverty-stricken people of the world have the innate ability to bring themselves out of poverty and launched the non-profit Village Earth in 1993, along with co-founder Ed Shinn, Ph.D., to help these poor communities access financial and other resources to sustainably and self-reliantly develop.
