Although January usually brings ice-cold temperatures, the heat is on when Salt Creek Bluegrass Band performs.  Come hear their foot stompin’ music at 7:30 p.m. Friday, January 12, at the Allen Public Library.  Like different amounts of cayenne will sure change your chili, the high-energy Salt Creek Bluegrass adds subtle seasoning to their standard bluegrass and contemporary tunes that will whet your appetite for more.

On mandolin and fiddle, Al Stenzel began his career as a classical musician, but in high school he became enthralled with the sounds of bluegrass. Al’s mandolin chops and fiddle licks will keep the band on a firm turf.

The lively rolls coupled with a tasteful delivery of melodic runs from Chuck Duffin’s banjo gives Salt Creek a distinctive sound.

A fiddle is a must in Texas music and Tommy Swan will not disappoint you with his exciting solos and back-up licks.

Terry Solomon also provides the lead with his bass.  His creative arrangements provide Salt Creek Bluegrass an old fashion but progressive style.

Warren Goad adds a dynamic guitar with a Texas slant.  His arrangements keep the Salt Creek repertoire fresh and progressive.

Admission is free and the program will be streamed live on ACTV. Find viewing options at Watch ACTV or view online at ACTV.org or YouTube.com/AllenCityTV.
