Sara Watkins, (born June 8, 1981) is a fiddler, vocalist, and songwriter, and is one third of the contemporary bluegrass/folk band Nickel Creek. Her brother Sean Watkins, also a member of Nickel Creek, plays guitar and sings in the group. Sean and Sara have been with Nickel Creek since its beginning in 1989. Nickel Creek recently participated in a project dubbed Mutual Admiration Society, a collaboration with former Toad The Wet Sprocket singer Glen Phillips. They were joined on a 2004 tour by the stellar rhythm section of John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello & the Attractions/Imposters) on drums.
Sara also performs with her brother Sean in a group called Watkins Family Hour, which she has been doing the past few years. The Watkins Family Hour usually is the Watkins duo with special guests, occasionally performing at the Largo. In 2006 she toured with the violinist Darol Anger. Sara Watkins is the debut solo album by Sara Watkins. It was released by Nonesuch Records on April 7, 2009.

How is "Where Will You Be" not in the top 15? That song is gorgeous. Sara's voice gives me the chills on that song.
