Buffalo Creek Stringband — Jackie Burgess, Annie Griffey, Joy Moser and Scott Dixon — play string band music of the Appalachian Mountains.
Buffalo Creek continues a musical legacy that dates back to early American music, with roots in Irish, English, Scottish and African folk, at a time when fiddles could be found throughout the Southern Appalachians. Tunes were played in people's homes–for dances and for pleasure, at community work gatherings and for special celebrations– on string instruments such as the fiddle, banjo, guitar, and bass. Singing was also a mainstay in many of the mountain communities in Appalachia, whre it was as common and widespread a tradition as spoken language.
Buffalo Creek Stringband proudly keeps this vibrant, communal musical tradition alive through their performances and recordings.
