Bio: Leonardo Torres was raised Catholic and left the church after being threatened to be kicked out for asking questions about the bible concerning his grandfather's death. He identified as an Atheist for 12 years and spent that time actively arguing with anyone who brought up religion. At age 30, he had a strong encounter with God that made him drop his Atheist title and became a free follower of GOD who he calls, "The Great Spirit". Taking God seriously and following Him wherever He leads him, Leonardo was led to start this KZbin Channel, reacting to music as a "Non-Christian" musician reviewing Christian music. Through the music and the stories he began to learn more about Christ and considers himself a Student of Christ. Having been lost and now found, this channel is like a lost and found for lost sheep, Leonardo's goal is to create a safe space where God can find those who are yearning for Him.
Leonardo wants to remind followers of Christ to love one another as they were commanded. He is a man on a mission to spread the love of God to everyone that comes to this channel. Whether you come to stay or are just passing by, we pray your soul is touched by The Holy Spirit and that you are changed forever! Join us on this journey, not by subscribing but by making a commitment to allow His Love into your heart.

The mandolin player won the MacArthur Genuis Grant and is probably the best living Mandolin player. He has another band called Punch Brothers that are definitely worth checking out. Also, his solo stuff is amazing. All three of the founding members of Nickel Creek have amazing projects outside of the band. They have been playing together since they were kids (before their teenage years). Amazing musicians!

[@Jonesbones73]

Looking forward to this one. I’ve never heard this song. My all time favorite from Nickel Creek is “The Lighthouse Tale.” Hope you check it out sometime too. I really believe you’ll love it musically but also the story telling…it’s beautiful. ♥️

[@WestsideCritters]

I too love The lighthouse Tale

[@G1ngerpocalypse]

Same!!! I cry every time I listen, it’s such an incredibly well told story 😭

[@dpwellman]

I picked this one. My thought process it was musically interesting. And as good as any for those that have never heard Nickel Creek before, let alone Bluegrass.

[@Jonesbones73]

@@dpwellman it was a good choice! I had never heard it before so thanks for sharing!

[@TheCurtainLift]

Check out their new album. It’s probably their best

[@thebra]

Chris Thile is a musical genius. Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers and his solo stuff is all fantasic.

[@CrAck-MoNey]

This song builds it's unresolve throughout. It never feels comfortable, but it's still comforting at the same time. It's like coming home after not being there for 20 years. It feels like home, but distant at the same time.

[@The1stChristgrl]

Leonardo, if you're checking out Nickle Creek, listen to some of their earlier work when they were younger and wilderness. The Mandolinist has a pretty amazing voice when he's leading a song, and his playing is spectacular!

[@gerryhatrick6678]

I had a chance to sit with them at lunch at a folk festival up here in Canada. This was in the 90's and they autographed my CD for me. They were so young then.

[@birdyseeds]

Nickel Creek is just a lovely group of folks. They’re so talented and of course Chris is the greatest known mandolin player in the universe. Check out his work with Billy Strings at Lincoln Center…it’s transcendent.

[@adams565]

They are each staggering musicians in their own right. This song is remarkably complex, far more than might necessarily be apparent for some. They are so so good.

[@CrAck-MoNey]

These are 3 of the best musicians around. More Nickel Creek please! It's magic! I saw them live and it was so amazing. And I've been to over 50 concerts.

[@deannaratz9702]

You can't go wrong with any Nickel Creek, but my favorites are "Reasons Why" and "The Fox" (check out a live version of "The Fox" if possible!)

[@paulniemiec3165]

Saw them last night in New Haven… my fifth time over the years. They’re as good as ever 🔥❤️

[@CrAck-MoNey]

Watch their tiny desk. Sarah's vocals are so powerful.

[@matchfactoryman]

Their use of dynamics is always amazing. Top musicians too

[@brianlombardi9049]

Sarah's voice is magic too

[@da_sleepyfox]

I love seeing other people give small bands like nickel creek this attention. They are a very underrated band and one of my favorites :D

[@JMC8415]

Nickel Creek is really magical. Saw them back in the early 2000's and was just blown away

[@EverlastingDream328]

My favorite Nickel Creek song is "When You Come Back Down." Cool to see you reacting to this little known band :)

[@dpwellman]

Yeah. Really great band. Really brought bluegrass into the modern age to a brand new generation of listeners. Of course other favorites are Allison Krauss and Union Station, Iron Horse, and, of course, Ricky Scaggs (got to meet him once entirely by accident).

[@killerbees444]

You should go to their concert!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rene4144]

You ahpuld check out their nor tiny desk performNce.. so awesome.. so raw.. live performance with utter perfection!!!!

[@BowyersBeautifulBles]

The Lighthouse’s Tale is my favorite all time Nickel Creek song

[@albertdale5101]

Yes, you have...hit the musical jackpot🎉

[@ChrisTuckerPhotography]

Welcome to the club :-) Perhaps the greatest band of the 2000's

[@jonfazzone5125]

FYI. The Brother/Sister in Nicklecreek formed Side Project with Jon Foreman of Switchfoot

[@carmenjansma1396]

I am a long time fan of Nicklecreek, I discovered them on Austin city limits back in late 90s and was blown away! They have been one of my top favorite bands ever since.

[@Liber8tor]

Hollywood ending my friend, also from the celebrants disc Smoothie song,,,,cant go wrong

[@jazzgrubsmoor6007]

I love your thoughtful reaction. You picked up on things that I missed. Nickel Creek is wonderful. If you like the acoustic string work and tight harmonies, you might want to check out a band called The Petersens on the song "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow." The band is an obscure Branson Missouri group, but they picked up over 4 million views on that video.

[@Bluelightcheaphotel]

Been following them since this side. Caught an intimate after show in the street I’ll never forget. Great shows back in early 2000s, playing those strings the way it was meant to be!

[@gerryhatrick6678]

I saw these guys in the 90's at our folk festival here in Canada. We sat at the same lunch table, and they autographed my CD for me. I love their songs, He Will listen to you, and Moonfleet. They were just kids back then, and so gracious and humble. If you can find their early CD you should listen to, He will listen to you.

[@rondelby2482]

Wow , folk is coming back with groups like these.

[@domioele3346]

Worth looking at more of their music. They have been performing together since they were young children.

[@mark-be9mq]

You might like Nickle Creek's, Green and Grey; This Side; Destination; & the instrumental, Smoothie Song, amoung others as well.

[@mark-be9mq]

Fantastic. They've got 30 yrs of great songs to enjoy.

[@billbingham2430]

You’ve only begun to explore NC. Cool history. Chris Thile is a virtuoso. Find his renderings of Bach and other classical pieces. I’m glad they’re back together.

[@Ellex424]

I was lucky enough to see Nickel Creek in concert just last week, and they were not only as great live as their recordings, they were even better! I highly recommend listening to everything they've done as Nickel Creek. Then you should go listen to everything they've done separately. Mandolin player Chris Thile has put out multiple albums on his own, formed another band called Punch Brothers that is made up of equally talented musicians (including Noam Pickelny, possibly one of the greatest banjo players ever), and has put out a couple of albums with cellist Yo Yo Ma (Goat Rodeo Sessions). Guitar player Sean Watkins has also put out albums of his own as well as collaborations with others, and his sister Sara Watkins (fiddle/violin) has put out several solo albums, regularly performs as part of folk trio I'm With Her, and with others. Basically, these three are incredibly talented and everything they do has been great.

[@csutton161]

Wow, thank you for reacting to this. I had this CD when it first came out, with original singers/players and my children and I wore it out. This version of Nickel Creek is great too. My children know every word to their songs. Chris Thiele, Mandolin player is now in a group called the Punch Brothers. As Tracy Thomas said "the Lighthouse tale" is beautiful.

[@unionjack515]

This tune is on their newest record, released in 2023. The band has stayed the same since their inception-Chris Thile and siblings Sean and Sara Watkins. The support musicians have changed here and there.

[@brookemtman9978]

I love Nickle Creek! They are one of my favorite!

[@bryanlewis7755]

Wow.

[@Jayghopkins]

He should try Meadow on the same album

[@BrunswickWax]

You’ve gotta hear Chris Thile in Goat Rodeo… check out “Quarter Chicken Dark”

[@Bluelightcheaphotel]

How to grow a woman from the ground and Deceiver were oft played albums from Mr Thile

[@MrLedotson]

Definitely more Nickle Creek they are amazing. Green and Grey, The Smoothie Song, Destination are all great. My favorite is the Fox but you have to hear it live. Any live 6 min version so you get a little Subterranean Homesick Blues. Chris Thile, the mandolin player, has other fantastic bands like Punch Brothers and Goat Rodeo with Yoyo Ma.

[@dpwellman]

@Leonardo Torres OH, I promised those on the Discord I'd suggest Ellie Holcomb - "Constellations" We've been listening in the Worship Room every Friday evening. Ellie has been a hit there.

[@albertdale5101]

Pick almost any song off "Why Should the Fire Die."

[@michelledotts2041]

Can I recommend the old 80’s song “Road To Nowhere” by Jars of Clay. Dan Hazeltine also writes the music for The Chosen.

[@hilbeans06]

Can I suggest a band that I have a personal connection with? Cactus Blossoms...Hey Baby. They are a cross between Tom Petty and Roy Orbinson. I went to church camp with them and older brother Tyler Burkum is a guitar player that has played with Audio Adrenaline, Mat Kearney, and Needtobreathe...please and thanks

[@tuleriver]

Check this amazing musician/songwriter out: Rodney Crowell - I Know Love Is All I Need

[@kennethmardis2132]

Chris is the best

[@marharytatyslenko5894]

hey hey, Leonardo, have you ever heard another wonderful song: Your love never fails by Jesus Culture? this song always brings me so much joy, love it from the bottom of my heart. check it out~
