Butterfield Creek is a standout acoustic band hailing from Chicago’s southland. Formed in 2018, this four-piece group combines top-tier musicianship on guitar, banjo, and upright bass with the powerhouse vocals of Rachel Lewis, creating a warm, dynamic sound that audiences instantly connect with.
​
Named after a local waterway—a 15.2-mile tributary of Thorn Creek winding through Homewood, Chicago Heights, and Glenwood—Butterfield Creek flows with the same easy charm and authenticity as the stream itself.
​
Under the umbrella of Americana music, the band delivers a rich mix of acoustic renditions of rock and pop classics, hidden-gem favorites, and a touch of traditional and new-grass energy. Add in a few classic country tunes and a set of hooky, crowd-favorite originals, and you’ve got a show that feels fresh, heartfelt, and irresistibly fun. Whether performing an intimate listening-room set or a lively festival stage, Butterfield Creek tailors each performance to match the moment—always leaving audiences smiling and singing along.
