Can We Give A Little Credit To Derek?

[NCFan4Ever]

Okay everyone, I think we should give a little holla for Derek. I mean, although the bass isn't the most predominant instrument of Nickel Creek, he still deserves a little credit! I met him at Merlefest and he was so nice, but it didn't even seem like anyone recognized him...he was in the food court just eating like a normal person (which he is, but you know what I mean.) Nickel Creek wouldn't be complete without Derek, and he deserves a forum of his own too! And while I'm here, let me just say....I love Nickel Creek! I can't wait for the new album!!!!!!!!!!

very true, the guy has amazing chops. but the band has billed itself as a trio, so I guess we shouldnt be surprised that the bassist is the 4th wheel, so to speak.
since the bass was my first musical love, I'm sad to say it gets little respect in bluegrassy circles.

Well, I have to say...I was wowed by his performance at the concert I went to in April in Atlanta. he is very very awesome :)
