Wilson Creek

Bio: As performers, songwriters and instrumentalists, Wilson Creek is known for its unique ability to transform bluegrass, folk, rock, gospel and country genres into its own brand of Americana. In 2005, the three had already known each other for several months when they found themselves together as hired guns on numerous studio projects for other artists. By 2006 the trio began playing unofficial shows together in various places as sought after musical guests. Recognizing their common interest in musical taste, the group became official in early 2007.

Members: Heather Adkins (guitar/vocals) works at Riverside Physical Therapy as an assistant, as well as a full time Respiratory Therapy major at St. Mary's; Jessica Adkins (fiddle/vocals) works at Riverside Physical Therapy as a secretary, and is going to school this fall for Radiography at Marshall; Rudy Rohr (mandolin/vocals), works at Rt. 60 Music as a sales associate.

Influences: Tony Rice, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Monroe, Emmylou Harris, The Marshall Family, and Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver.

Based in: Huntington
