Fantastic bluegrass band!

Orchard Creek performed at our “New Beginnings” celebration of being in our new house after losing everything in the Marshal Fire. Our outdoor event was washed out by a torrential downpour. Orchard Creek offered to play acoustically in our garage, which they did. All our guests commented on how great a band they were!

Additional booking notes

We offer flexible sound solutions for any setting. Our professional-grade PA system can be scaled to suit intimate indoor gatherings, large outdoor festivals, and everything in between. For settings where tradition calls for it, we’re equally at ease performing strictly acoustic, gathered around a single microphone in true old-time fashion.
