Butterfield Creek, the band, hales from Chicago's southland. We're a four-piece that features solid musicianship on guitars, banjo, upright bass, and mandolin backing backing up the Rachel Lewis on lead vocals, and she slays. Under the umbrella of Americana music, we include acoustic renditions of rock/pop classics and off-the-beaten-track favorites. We add a few traditional bluegrass numbers, some new-grass, a few classic country songs, and for good measure, we throw in a smattering of hooky originals that fans request the most.  We can do shows/sets that lean into our cover material, and others that lean into our original material.
