Lost Creek performing at the Gresham Little Theater

"Lost Creek was the first group up and did the audience welcome them! The band did a great job of entertaining with their excellent instrumentals and vocals and of course Kirk Miller's special brand of humor."

Here's Lost Creek, with special guest Fred Coates, just before performing in the 2007 Columbia Gorge Bluegrass Festival band contest.

We ended up taking third place and were actually pretty happy about it. After all, we placed along with two of the very best northwest bands, Runaway Train and The Hakanson Family. We had a great time and we pulled off a Bob Dylan song to boot!

Lost Creek performing at the Ridgefield Bluegrass Festival

 

"Jamming with Lost Creek was one of my favorite festival memories, very cool. After their stage performance, Lost Creek entered an empty Pioneer Street Cafe and drew a huge crowd with a tight jam.

In less than 1/2 hour, after they started playing, the cafe had a waiting line! The Cafe owner (Retired Clark College President Ellis Dunn) sent a round of beers out to the band as the jamming continued.

I had to regretfully leave the jam, after about an hour to attend to some festival duties. Lost Creek was a huge hit at Ridgefield. They are a great Bluegrass band and a pleasure to work with."

Here's Lost Creek, with special guest Gretchen Amann, playing to a bustling crowd at the downtown Portland Farmer's Market.

Bluegrass, sunny weather, nice people, and local produce are a perfect match. We always have a great time playing at this market.

"As part of our marketing campaign, I named a creek after us in northern wisconsin a few days ago (attached)."

Brian, Grant, and Dave at Fearless Brewing Co. in Estacada, Oregon

"This acoustic band is a favorite of Fearless Brewing Company regulars. Bluegrass is a passion for them and it shows. They pack 'em in every performance, and a good time is had by all."

Ken Johnson
(Fearless Brewing Co. Owner)

Yes, we're named after a real creek. It's located somewhere near the town of Dexter in the middle of Oregon. It's an idyllic and bluegrassy place where our very talented banjo player and vocalist, Dave Dowdy, spent his youthful years.

Here's the original Lost Creek, with bassist Rob Downie, after we performed at the Tygh Valley Bluegrass Festival in 2006. Rob was forced to retire from the band in the Winter of 2006/07. We were sorry to see him go.

Lost Creek was reborn in the Spring of 2007 with the addition of two new talented members, Kirk Miller (mandolin/vocals) and Will Rausch (bass/vocals). Brian moved over to playing the fiddle and the new Lost Creek (wait for it) was found.
