Butterfield Creek hails from Chicago’s southland. We’re a tight-knit four-piece band featuring quality musicianship on guitars, banjo, and upright bass — all backing the incredible Rachel Lewis on lead vocals.
Rooted in the Americana tradition, our repertoire spans acoustic renditions of rock and pop classics, off-the-beaten-path favorites, and a touch of bluegrass — from traditional to newgrass — plus a some classic country tunes. To keep things fresh, we mix in a handful of catchy original songs as well.
Butterfield Creek performs at a wide range of venues and events, including restaurants, breweries, wineries, and festivals. You’ll also find us playing at apple orchards, farmers markets, listening rooms, libraries and private gatherings — anywhere people appreciate great live music.
Please contact us for booking inquiries or to learn more.
Butterfield Creek's repetoir is always expanding. We can adapt shows to focus on originals or covers, and/or we can lean into our bluegrass/ newgrass and classic country songs.
