Outstanding!!

Ioni Creek was the perfect band for our outdoor event! The music was excellent, and the band is fabulous to work with! Their stage presence is delightful! Will definitely hire them again. In fact, I'll be trying to think up some events so that we can host them again!

Wow! Ioni Creek delivered, and then some! Highly recommend.

I couldn't recommend this band more. I found them here on GigSalad and booked them without having known or met them previously, and they were a musical force. They brought the fun to our party and helped make a very special night, extra special with a true bluegrass treat. Each of the band members was very talented, and they had our party up on their feet and dancing the night away!

A great night of fun and entertainment!

Ioni Creek played for our family reunion. We really enjoyed them. They played a wide range of music bridging the gap between the past and the present, catering to ages 4 to 82, which is not easy! Each of the band members are so talented, playing multiple instruments and "killing it" when asked to play songs they had never performed before. It was a great night, and I highly recommend Ioni Creek. We will definitely be calling on them again!

About

Ioni Creek was started as a bluegrass band in 2018 by Mike Cannonie, who was born and raised in the Arkansas Ozarks. His family gathered every Saturday night to play bluegrass music together. The sweet mountain harmonies are a fond memory of his childhood that he wanted to keep alive and share with others.

Set list

Our setlist is in the hundreds of songs. Way too many to list here. If you tell us your favorite songs, we will play them. If we don't know the song, we will learn that song. Over the years we have had to play and sing a lot of songs we did not know for birthdays and other parties. If you are paying for the band, you get to call the tune.

Influences and inspiration

Our primary influences are Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, and Daily and Vincent.

Setup requirements

We need power for the sound system. 120 VAC 20 A. We prefer a stage or paved area off the ground and shade when playing outdoors.
