Sara Ullrika Watkins, a renowned American singer-songwriter and fiddler, made her debut in 1989 as a founding member of the influential progressive bluegrass group Nickel Creek, alongside her brother Sean and mandolinist Chris Thile.
As a multi-instrumentalist, Watkins' skillset extends beyond singing and fiddling, as she is also proficient in playing the ukulele and the guitar, and has even taken on percussion duties while touring with the Decemberists.
Throughout her career with Nickel Creek, Watkins released a total of five studio albums, one compilation album, and seven singles, solidifying the band's status as a pioneering force in the bluegrass genre.
During the band's seven-year hiatus, Watkins pursued a solo career, releasing three albums: Sara Watkins on Nonesuch Records, Sun Midnight Sun on Nonesuch Records, and Young in All the Wrong Ways on New West Records.
