As a member of Nickel Creek and Watkins Family Hour, singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Sara Watkins has spent much of the last 20 years traveling the world from stage to stage. It’s a job that demands both being in transit and being connected to creative collaborators along the way.

“When I’m out in nature, it’s a place of quiet, a place of incredibly deep metaphors that have been around for thousands of years. That’s helpful for me to reconnect to."

“Eventually, I found the right source material in my own life.”

“I was feeling really comfortable, and it was kind of terrifying. Because I don’t want that.”
