Wilson Creek Takes 2nd Place at SPBGMA
We went to Nashville to have some fun, visit friends and see the sights. Somewhere along the way we won 2nd Place in the “Society for the Preservation of Blue Grass Music in America” International Bluegrass Band Championship. We’re very happy and excited to have done so well in a contest of many great bands. Thanks to everyone for their comments and questions while we were there. We hope to see you all in the future. See our photos!
Beatnik Ranch Party
Wilson Creek will appear on the pilot episode of “The Beatnik Ranch Party.” Taping begins on June 6th. We’re happy to be a part of this cool television production. More information will follow.
Heather Wins 2nd Place

Wayne County News and Correction
Special thanks to the Wayne County News staff for the front page story today. One correction we’d like to make, however.. The location of the Highway 23 Jamboree on May 3rd is Ashland, Kentucky’s Paramount Theater, and not Louisa as reported in the article.

Long Time No Post
It’s been too long, I know. Heather and Jess are still penning music and lyrics for our delayed but still upcoming recording sessions. Also, Heather and Jess went to Nashville last month to participate in CMT’s “Can You Duet?” production. Will they be on the air? We’ll see.

Wilson Creek will be playing a short 30-45 minute set to try out some new songs and arrangements as we open the show for Acoustic/Bluegrass band, Blue Moon Rising. Come and check us out while we warm up the crowd and push the stylistic boundaries of what is usually a bluegrass-only venue.
