You don’t need much reason to celebrate when Sean Watkins, Chris Thile, and Sara Watkins are in your town, but this stop in support of Nickel Creek’s fifth studio album Celebrants should seal the deal.

Tickets to see Nickel Creek play Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall on Saturday, Feb. 23 are still available and start at $38.75.
