Skeeter Creek: Call to Book! (518) 852-7672

Skeeter Creek started off as a Bluegrass Band 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.

"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 Fender Telecaster guitars and Fender and Ampeg Amps.
