Skeeter Creek started off in 2002 formed by Tim Seabolt of Walton, West Virginia, and Joe Kulewicz from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. Skeeter Creek has become much more than a band, it's a way of life for these talented, professional musicians.
Skeeter Creek has built a reputation as "THE hardest working, most dedicated musicians to come from the Northeast Country Music scene in years". "It's just what we do. We play music that we love to perform live". It's more than music, it's ENTERTAINMENT.
Over the last few years, Skeeter Creek has been fortunate enough to have played with some of the best musicians and performers, performing with Artists such as Darryl Worley, Rhett Atkins, Chad Brock, Jeff Bates, Jim and Jeff Hagar (Hee-Haw), Pirates of the Mississippi, Emerson Drive, Mark Wills,Chris Cagle, Luke Bryan, Ashton Sheppard, James Otto, Billy Currington, Phil Vasser, Tricia Yearwood, Toby Keith, Faith Hill, and Montgomery Gentry, and George Jones, to name a few.
"It's been a great ride, and a great time for sure!" says Joe. " The band has been through alot in the past 8 years, and I am the only remaining, original member. I look forward to every show that we do, and I thank the good Lord for the opportunity to entertain Country music fans every time I take the stage. It's more fun every time we play. There's a very cohesive feeling in the band now, something that's very hard to come by". Joe plays Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, and Martin guitars and Ampeg Amps.

Eric has played for over 25 years in the Upstate New York music scene. Touring with the likes of Blues Traveler and Government Mule on the 1998 HORDE tour, he had the pleasure of playing dates as far away as Birmingham, Alabama and was also fortunate enough to play at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Besides his love for Fender Precision basses, he plays the 5 string and the "doghouse" upright for Skeeter Creek. Eric also joins Brian in Pariah (pariahny.com) playing bass, singing a few leads and also a bit of harmonica. On the jazz end of the spectrum, Eric plays in an upright bass/piano jazz duo which has taken him as far as Kansas City, Kansas. Playing music to (of course) enjoy martinis. Incorporating his style of Bass for Skeeter Creek creates a funky-country rhythm that brings out the dancing in us all!
