Ash Creek explores the frontiers between bluegrass, folk, and traditional country music.

We work hard to find songs that respect those traditions, but aren’t the same ol’ stuff. We like a good story, and a tune that veers where you don’t expect it, without giving you a case of whiplash. And we try to stay right in the pocket of what we’re good at, which is good, solid acoustic music, meant to be listened to.

Gene Alger plays banjo; Larry Ullman plays bass; Tim Howell plays guitar; Clayton Knight plays mandolin and fiddle. We all share lead and harmony vocals.
