Artist History Creeping Time started in 1996, when Adam Boesel and Dave Forrester met Ken Nottingham at an open mike at the Hop Vine Pub in Seattle. They have been performing in Seattle and Olympia since then, and have recorded two albums. In Spring 2001, a fiddler named Kjell Anderson joined the band (Ken met him at the Hop vine Pub open mike), ending an exhausting search to find a soloist so Adam wouldn't have to try so hard on the harmonica.

Press Reviews The Olympian 2/11/2000 Creeping Time's Down Home Tunes as Fresh as Mown HayGlancing at this cover with its photo of a young kid looking all intense and everything, my first thought was "Oh, no, more skatecore," but my usually accurate spidey senses were way off. Instead, this is an excellent blast of fresh air, the kind you get passing a field of newly mown hay. It's country, but not in the Nashville or Wal-Mart style; this is Oly country, equal parts jammy Phish action, rustic John Prine-like vocals, Greener funkiness and Wilco, down-home in the year 2000. Creeping Time comes from Olympia and Seattle, and is made up of Adam Boesel (guitar, harmonica, vocals), who has recorded with the Stove Top Band; Dave Forrester (percussion); and Ken Nottingham (bass, mandolin, vocals), who has a solo record "Songs from the Shed" and has played with the Hungry Young Poets. Joining this trio are Ivan Lee on guitar and lap steel and Kim Karius on backup vocals. This CD was passed on to me by a friend who mentioned that it was happy music, and then we both commiserated about how that was indeed a rare thing. And it is good-time music, full of catchy tunes that make you long for warm, sunny days when you can load this into your stereo, hop into your car, and saw off the top so you can drive around in a convertible singing along to great lyrics such as: "My girl ain't perfect but she's pretty close/When she wears that dress she don't look like much/She looks like the most." Amen, brother.
