Artist History Since their introduction to the Boston music scene in the fall of 1993, Adam Dewey and Crazy Creek have been playing their own brand of traditional and contemporary bluegrass music. Combining the influences of bluegrass mainstays such as Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers and Boston's own Joe Val with their own musical sensibilities, they have developed a sound that pays homage to tradition, breaks new ground, and is, without doubt, their own. Nowhere is this deep-grooved sound more evident than on their self-titled recording that was released in April of 1999. And, with recent appearances at First Night Boston, several festivals in the Northeast, and a prize-winning performance in the band contest of the 1997 Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival, they have developed a growing reputation as one of the top bluegrass outfits in the New England area.
