Description:
Macado's in Blacksburg presents Mason Creek in concert on Friday, July 22, 2016.
Mason Creek features four artists of traditional, acoustic, bluegrass-music style. Based out of the Roanoke Valley, Virginia area, Mason Creek cites their many obvious local and legendary musical influences. The band is able to journey into a realm of their own, while still maintaining the spirit of sounds created within the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The four friends, with their combined musical taste of traditional bluegrass, quickly realized that the fun and laughs never stopped. Founded in the Summer of 2015, Mason Creek was formed. Featuring veteran local performers, Gary John— lead vocal and driving rhythm guitar; Shannon Wheeler’s notoriously wicked fiddling; along with JW Meade's enforcement of solid acoustic bass playing lays a strong foundation for the driving Scruggs’ style banjo of youngest member, Brandon Dickerson.
