	Musicians - Chris Thile

Chris Thile (born February 20, 1981) is a renowned mandolin player and founding member of the progressive bluegrass trio Nickel Creek with Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins. Chris began playing the mandolin at the age of 5 and began performing at California bluegrass festivals. As an early teen, he won the prestigious national mandolin championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas in 1993. He also began recording his first solo album that same year, with mostly songs of his own composition. After two more solo albums of all original material, he teamed with mandolin master Mike Marshall for a stunning album of duets called Into the Cauldron, which included forays into jazz, world music, and Bach. In 2004 Chris released Deceiver, a departure from his earlier work which contained a variety of pop/rock/folk influenced vocal numbers.

He is featured in the documentary Bluegrass Journey.

Thile was recently divorced after eighteen months of marriage.
