About Wolf Creek: Wolf Creek is a five piece band from East TN. Their music is an eclectic blend of Bluegrass, Classic Country, Blues and Rock-n-Roll. Formed in November of 2007, Wolf Creek is the creative collaboration of five seasoned entertainers immersed in the craft of traditional & eclectic mountain music . Each of these musicians bring to this group a rich background performing music in a variety of acts playing some of the regions top venues and events.
Among the elements that make up their sound is the music of Flatt & Scruggs, The Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene, Doc Watson, Jimmy Martin, The Stanley Brothers, Tony Rice, & Ricky Skaggs along with more contemporary acts such as The Eagles, America, Steve Earle & Marty Stuart.
While strongly acoustic based, the music of Wolf Creek is augmented with the punch and power of drums and electric bass, along with the twang of the Telecaster, flavoring the music with the classic West Coast sounds of Buck Owens and the Outlaw Country, ala Waylon Jennings. Combining these elements with the many other styles each of the players bring
to the group, Wolf Creek is creating a sound which is unique and fresh yet classic and timeless.
Wolf Creek, the band's name, was derived from the song of the same name by Dan Fogelberg, which was performed by some of the bands biggest influences including: Doc Watson, Herb Pedersen, David Grisman & Jerry Douglas.
