New York, NY (Top40 Charts) There are just two weeks to go before the release of A Dotted Line, the new album from Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum selling trio - Chris Thile (mandolin/vocals), Sara Watkins (fiddle/vocals), and Sean Watkins (guitar/vocals) - on April 1 (with vinyl to follow on April 29).
The band, which officially reunites for the first time since its 2007 self-described "indefinite hiatus," previously unveiled two tracks from the album, "
Destination" and "Love of Mine," and has now revealed a third track, "21st of May," which you can hear below. (Sean Watkins wrote the song on May 20, 2011, the day before the supposed rapture as predicted and advertised by Bay Area pastor Harold Camping, whose point of view he sings it from.) All three tracks are included with pre-orders of the album in the , at nickelcreek.com, and on iTunes. All Nonesuch and
Nickel Creek pre-orders are also automatically entered to win weekly prize drawings.
Nickel Creek tours the US in support of the Eric Valentine-produced new album this spring and summer, with shows in New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Nashville, and Los Angeles, as well as at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Newport Folk Festival.
