When taking a nickel tour, do not expect to be much enlightened. You will usually be allowed to see what you are allowed to see, no more. Don't blink.The name comes from the price for tours in the past. The tours might have been more comprehensive at one time, but nickel tour now generally means a very basic tour, quickly made.Today the tour generally comes at no cost, and would be well worth the price.
Nickel Tour
The "strapborough" reference from 1918 above seems to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 5-cent ride on the New York subway or other mass transit line (comparing the scenic view to that of the Alps). This fits with an earlier reference from a 1913 article titled "Nickle Bridal Tour" in the Laredo Weekly Times which quotes that San Antonio Express saying "This applies applies to couples that cannot afford anything more extensive than a nickel bridal trip on a Houston car line."

Nickel Creek's first performance was at That Pizza Place in Carlsbad, California, in 1989 with Scott Thile, Chris's father, playing string bass.[4][5] The oldest of the Watkins children, Sean was only twelve years old at the time.[6] At the start of Nickel Creek's history, Chris Thile played guitar and Sean Watkins played mandolin but later they decided to switch instruments.[4] The band played many bluegrass festivals throughout the 1990s, and the band members were home-schooled to accommodate their tour schedule.[7] Nickel Creek's first two albums were Little Cowpoke (1993) and Here to There (1997).
The band went on tour and opened eleven shows for Lyle Lovett in the summer of 2000 and appeared on Austin City Limits in January 2001 with Dolly Parton. A month later, Parton invited Nickel Creek to perform as her backup band at the 2001 Grammy Awards. The trio also had a spring tour with Glen Phillips in a collaboration dubbed Mutual Admiration Society. A self-titled album was set for release, but was delayed until 2004. Nickel Creek also opened for Vince Gill and Amy Grant that winter.[12][13] Shortly after Nickel Creek started touring, Scott Thile decided to leave the band to spend time with his family. He was replaced by bassist Byron House, who was in March 2001 replaced by bassist Derek Jones.[13]
During their 2002 and 2003 tour, Nickel Creek opened five shows for John Mayer in November 2002,[18] and toured with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings earlier in the year.[19] In 2003, Nickel Creek appeared on the Béla Fleck and the Flecktones album Little Worlds.[20]
In late summer 2006, via Billboard and their official website, Nickel Creek announced that at the end of the year they would no longer record as a group and their tour, scheduled through 2007, would be their last for an indefinite period[28] so band members could expand their musical horizons.[28]
In November 2006, Sugar Hill released Reasons Why: The Very Best, a compilation of selected studio tracks from Nickel Creek's three latest albums, as well as two previously unreleased tracks and all of the music videos from the trio's singles.[29] Their seven-month Farewell (For Now) Tour started in April 2007 and ended in November.[30] The tour was originally to be called the Victory Lap Tour, but the band's managers thought that would sound "presumptuous and boastful."[31]
The band announced on February 3, 2014 that they would release a new album in the spring of 2014.[2] Titled A Dotted Line, the album was produced by previous collaborator Eric Valentine and marked the group's first release on Nonesuch Records. Released on April 1, 2014 in the United States, the album coincided with the group's 25th anniversary. A subsequent tour began in April 2014 with over two dozen dates.[40][41]
"We did this as a day bachelorette activity for our lovely bride to be who loves beer. Even though the rest of us in the bridal party are not so much beer people, we had a great time on this tour! It was a lot of fun. The guide (John) was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We sampled about 14 beers at 4 different breweries. We tried and like beers that we probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. The food at Dock Street was great. I will definitely be returning for another tour!"
If you've always been satisfied with chrome wedges, I'd stick to those. I played with some of the raw steel ones (black) and prefer the tour nickel. I don't think there are any differences in the grinds, just the finish. I do know the raw steel ones will rust over time.
We also offer a meal and tour combo at a great discount (Minimum of 8 meals). It includes the above tour as well as one of our meal platters. Pre-ordering is required for these discounted rates because we must be certain to have enough prepared for that day.
