Stony Creek Band Wed. at Little Theater

Past event
Jun 5, 2019, 7 to 9:30 PM

June 5th, Wednesday 7 pm, Little Theater on the Farm presents the Stony Creek Band. For over 40 years, the Stony Creek Band has been one of the most enduringly popular musical groups in the northeastern United States. The Stony Creek Band has thrilled generations of fans with its high energy blend of rock, folk, country and bluegrass; a sound that has consistently defied description but is "a product of the landscape as authentically upstate as any Hudson River School painting or sculpture by David Smith" and performed in a manner described by one reviewer as "a ferocious ensemble attack; like a runaway train!".

The Stony Creek Band began with the 1973 meeting of John Strong, a folksinger/guitarist from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and Hank Soto, a guitarist and songwriter from the Bavarian Alps of Germany. Along with a bass player the Stony Creek Band began life as a folk trio, touring coffee houses in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In the 1980's the band evolved into its current 5-piece configuration which now includes producer/ singer /songwriter Dave Maswick on bass, blues hall of fame member Mike Lomaestro on drums, and noted bluegrass mandolin virtuoso Fred Lantz. Over the years, the Stony Creek Band has made thousands of concert appearances including appearances with the Charlie Daniels Band, Poco, Joe Ely, Arlo Guthrie, and a live performance on NBC's TODAY show with Meredith Viera and Ann Curry.

Over the years, the Stony Creek Band has evolved from an acoustic trio with roots in traditional folk and country music to a purveyor of American idioms, and back again. The band's music is the sound of mature, seasoned artists who have outlasted the years and their own baser instincts to mentor and encourage younger artists, enrich their communities and preserve and transmit a living memory.
