Nine Mile Creek is a bluegrass band playing traditional and original bluegrass, with a touch of swing and Americana. Long time fans of the bluegrass genre and those appreciating the joys of good acoustic music are embracing Nine Mile Creek's fresh approach.
Full-on up tempo rhythms underpinned by Andrew's bass and Kevin's guitar are a feature of the band's sound. This provides a platform from where Mark's hard driving mandolin and Colin's banjo brings traditional bluegrass tunes to life, all nicely rounded out by Tanya's fiddle playing. Lead vocal duties are shared, and two, three and four part harmonies make for an exciting, toe-tapping musical experience.
Mark Pottenger and Andrew Barcham were keen to continue the experience they'd had playing in previous bands, and with Colin Weight on banjo, formed a trio that performed at the Kelly Country Pick in 2012. Kevin Parsell joined in early 2014, and Tanya Balka completed the line up to make Nine Mile Creek what it is today.
