Cincinnati Creek features seasoned musicians who have performed in New York State for many years. \u00a0 Based in the Adirondack foothills, they took their name from the creek that runs through the area. \u00a0Lori Thompson, Chris Pepe, and Gary Dygert were veteran performers with the Stump Hollow Band for nearly 14 years.<\/p>\n

In 2008, they regrouped, along with Cathy Martin, to carry on their tradition of great bluegrass music. They have performed at venues including Munson Williams Proctor Institute, Bluegrass Festivals, the Remsen Barn Festival, Utica\u00a0Monday\u00a0Night, The Adirondack Railroad, and numerous coffee houses and outdoor festivals.<\/p>\n

Finishing up their fifth season together, Cincinnati Creek offers listeners an acoustic variety of bluegrass, original compositions, gospel, and pop tunes. \u00a0There are several new songs in the works, many of them Lori\u2019s original compositions. \u00a0 Their performance at the coffee house will feature songs from their 2010 release, \u201cDoing As We Please.\u201d \u00a0This CD and the 2005 release, \u201cLittle Bit of Love,\u201d are often featured on WKTV\u2019s local TV program \u201cMohawk Valley Living.” \u00a0Cincinnati Creek performs songs about life, love, and local folklore. \u00a0 Live performances include traditional bluegrass instrumentals and three and four part harmonies, sprinkled with some history and fun too.<\/p>\n

Lori Thompson learned how to play instruments and sing from her family. \u00a0Her father, Art Sutton, and brothers, Warren and Ron, were established bluegrass musicians in the Hudson Valley area since the mid 1960\u2019s. \u00a0 Lori got her start with the family band for a few years on the 1980\u2019s before moving to the Mohawk Valley. She has been writing songs for several decades as well. \u00a0Currently, Lori plays mandolin, guitar, and sings both lead and harmony vocals for Cincinnati Creek. Her songs are inspired by her family, friends, and historical events. \u00a0 \u201cThe Ghost of Wash Loomis\u201d was written about the infamous Loomis Gang from the Sangerfield area. \u00a0She performed her song about the 19th century Forestport breaks called, \u201cWhere the Black River Flows,\u201d on WKTV\u2019s program, Mohawk Valley Living in 2007. \u00a0The Civil War tune, \u201cHome to You,\u201d explores the tragic experience of family fighting on opposite sides.<\/p>\n

Chris Pepe began playing instruments in the high school band. He was inspired to play banjo at a bluegrass festival. \u00a0He also sings harmony on a few tunes as well. \u00a0His fancy picking and good humor are a great addition to the band. \u00a0Chris began playing the banjo in 1992. \u00a0He and Lori have been performing together for 20 years.<\/p>\n

Gary Dygert plays the guitar, dobro, and mandolin. \u00a0He also sings lead and harmony vocals. \u00a0Like Lori, Gary has family ties to music as his father played the guitar and his grandfather was a fiddler. \u00a0Every group needs an official musicologist, and Gary adds many interesting tunes to the group\u2019s repertoire. \u00a0Gary has performed in many other local bands over the years such as\u00a0Midnight\u00a0Flyer and Keeping it Country.<\/p>\n

Cathy Martin also is multitalented. \u00a0She learned to play several instruments at a young age including the piano. \u00a0The bass is her latest endeavor. \u00a0Cathy also adds tenor harmony to the group. \u00a0 She has been a performer for many years with the Remsen Community Choir and the Steuben Players as well.<\/p>\n
