Nickel Creek And Andrew Bird: Up Up And Away

CRITIC’S PICK: Nickel Creek, Andrew Bird, Mike Viola, Coca-Cola Roxy —This strong triple bill is headlined by the reformed Nickel Creek trio. Last year’s lauded reunion album, Celebrants, found the threesome pushing past their backwoods roots into more adventurous indie rock territory while still keeping one foot in the acoustic approach that first brought them fame as the new faces of bluegrass. Violinist/vocalist Bird, who usually headlines, plays tunes from his new covers set of American jazz/pop standards Sunday Morning Put-On. He is likely to join the headliners during their set, making this a special event. — Hal Horowitz
