BIOGRAPHY
During its 20+ years of entertaining bluegrass audiences in the Mid-Atlantic
region, Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band has been named "West Virginia's
classic bluegrass band" by
"We try to put on a show that will entertain any music fan, even if they dont
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." Files also describes the music as "down-home." "It
reminds you of the kind of atmosphere you were around as a kid. It's farmland
stuff people can relate to. Just good, old down-to-earth music." "Libby is among the rising number of female vocalists who are making a big impact on bluegrass music," said Frank Jurney, founder of Virginia's Berryville Bluegrass Series. In 2020, Stoney Creek released the single "A Miner's Life." Originally recorded by Charlie Waller and the Country Gentlemen, Stoney Creek's recording spent five weeks at No. 1 nationally on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Bluegrass Song Chart (based on radio airplay). The song spend six weeks at No. 1 on the Bluegrass Jamboree's Top 15 Chart. "A Miner's Life" was featured on West Virginia Public Broadcasting's Inside Appalachia program and was among the top played songs for 2020 on numerous bluegrass radio stations. "This song, the composition, the recording is pure genius," according to bluegrass enthusiast Ed Henry. Also in 2020, Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band partnered with Southern States Cooperative to promote stores located near the band's concert appearances. The band has seen radio airplay with original songs including "Come Stay Awhile," "Never Tell Me," "The Traveling Song," "Thirty Years" and "Fast Train." 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. "Fast Train" reached No. 1 nationally on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Bluegrass Song Chart. The single "Thirty Years" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the same chart. In Sept. 2018, Stoney Creek partnered with the Boot for an exclusive premiere of the "Fast Train" music video. The Boot, one of the top country music sites, praised the video's "stunning sights" and said the band is "known for fusing bluegrass traditionalism with gospel sensibilities." Al Shusterman, host of Bluegrass Backroads on KUBU FM, noted the band's "great traditional songs, fine vocals and superb musicianship."
Katy Orr-Dove, general manager of Orr's Farm Market and Live
Bluegrass Weekends, said Stoney Creek
"brings a signature sound to bluegrass favorites."

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,"
