Happy vibes from both band and audience alike dominated Fox Theater Oakland on Monday for Nickel Creek’s return to the Bay Area. The group’s hiatus was discussed briefly between songs for a show that was notably long (100 plus minutes). Top-notch Americana bluegrass with a twist of progressive folk was on the menu, and Marc Fong was on the scene capturing the moment.
