Details:
These original compositions by Lori Thompson are performed with acoustic bluegrass instruments, yet the styles reflect a variety of genres including country, folk, and even Cajun. Some songs have local historical significance. For instance, “Where the Black River Flows” recounts the famous 19th century Forestport dam breaks. “Gracie’s Grave” is based on the life of an 18th century woman, Prudence Pomeroy whose gravestone stands on Rte. 12 in upstate NY. Yet another song, “Home to You” explores one version of how the song, “Taps” came to be. These heartfelt melodies keep one foot in the past and lead us forward with hope, love, and faith.
Cincinnati Creek performs locally across Central NY. Band members have performed in the area for many years at venues including Utica Monday Night, The Fox Family Festival, The Adirondack Railroad, The Remsen Barn Festival, and numerous coffee houses and outdoor festivals.

His fancy picking and good humor are a great addition to the band. Gary Dygert plays the guitar and dobro. He also sings lead and harmony vocals.
