Sara Watkins’ musical life after Nickel Creek is turning out to be just as interesting as what she did with that young band of acoustic groundbreakers.

In the five years since Nickel Creek split up — its farewell tour included a stop at Roanoke’s Jefferson Center — Watkins has made two solo records, including the recent release, “Sun Midnight Sun.”

Watkins performs Friday at The Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg. Read the full story.

    Saw her at Floyd Fest. She is a fine musician.
    BTW, “Privateering”, the latest Mark Knopfler CD, is not available in this country due to some dispute with the record company. Anone know what the full story is?

    She sure is. I had not heard about the troubles with “Privateering.” We had a wire review in the paper, so that meant that at least a guy from the Philly Inquirer received one, haha!
