The Wickers Creek Band
Bluegrass and Traditional American String Band Music
The Wickers Creek Band performs an eclectic mix of traditional American music, primarily in
the Bluegrass tradition. The five-person group sings in close, blended harmonies backed up by
fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, dobro and bass. The band's repertoire includes classic and
contemporary Bluegrass, country and Appalachian music, with a dollop of French Canadian,
Celtic and New England dance tunes thrown in for good measure. The group originally hails
from the hills of lower Westchester County where Wickers Creek flows into the mighty Hudson
River, but some years ago band members migrated up the Hudson to Columbia County.
Featured are lead singer Peter Paden on banjo and guitar, Charlene Paden on fiddle, Andy
Bing on mandolin and dobro, Rob Bradley on guitar, and Vivian Walsh on upright bass.
