"We try to put on a show that will entertain any music fan, even if they don’t consider themselves a bluegrass fan," says vocalist Libby Files. "Our music ranges from hard driving traditional bluegrass to bluegrass gospel and some slower dance numbers." Stoney Creek's albums Memories & Tears and Live On Location both reached #1 on AirPlay Direct. The band has seen radio play in over 400 markets with original songs including "Come Stay Awhile," "Never Tell Me," "The Traveling Song," and the latest single, "Thirty Years." The band's music videos have gained a following on social media, due in part to their reflection of the traditional bluegrass sound and rural lifestyle. Most recently, Stoney Creek signed on to be one of the first featured artists on livebluegrass.net, a streaming concert platform introduced in 2018. Frank Jurney of the Berryville Bluegrass Series has noted that "Libby is among the rising number of female vocalists who are making a big impact on bluegrass music." Stoney Creek has performed in direct support of top artists including Loretta Lynn, Doyle Lawson, the Grascals, Dailey & Vincent, and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper. Stoney Creek has been joined onstage by Rhonda Vincent ("the Queen of Bluegrass") for a gospel performance at North Carolina's Bluegrass Island Festival. Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band features Libby Files on vocals and bass, Brett Smeltzer on mandolin and vocals, Kenton Catlett on guitar and vocals, and Troy Stangle on banjo, dobro and vocals.

		LIBBY FILES - bass and vocals Stoney Creek was founded by bassist and vocalist Libby Files. "Libby is among the rising number of female vocalists who are making a huge impact on bluegrass music" - Berryville Bluegrass Series promoter Frank Jurney.

		BRETT SMELTZER - mandolin and vocals Brett spent several years touring and recording with one of Maryland's premiere bluegrass acts, Jack Sanbower and the No Leeway Band. Brett is also a bluegrass broadcaster, serving as host of "Bluegrass Retrospect" on The Bluegrass Jamboree on Friday evenings. Brett endorses Davis Mandolins and MBC Custom Straps.

		TROY STANGLE - banjo, dobro and vocals Troy previously played banjo and dobro with All4Hym, who recorded on the Rural Rhythm Christian label. Troy also played and recorded with Nickel Misery Bluegrass Band. His stage and studio experience made Troy a logical pick for Stoney Creek. "Troy displays a vast array of versatility and uniqueness in his banjo skills," according to the band's mandolin player Brett Smeltzer. "He is a veteran with a musical talent that is not overpowering, but what audiences will appreciate and find very pleasing to the ear. It's great to have Troy on board with Stoney Creek."

		KENTON CATLETT - guitar and vocals "When I was first getting into bluegrass music nearly 30 years ago, Kenton was the first person that I started playing music with ... rather quickly focusing on both harmonies and arrangement," according to Brett Smeltzer. Smeltzer and Files agree that "over the past few years, Kenton has been a reliable source to help out Stoney Creek with his vocal and guitar skill on an 'as needed' basis. It is great to know that we have that same commitment from him now on a full-time basis."
