Slough Creek

Slough Creek is an Americana band based in the Adirondacks and defined by tight harmonies and hold-onto-your-hat instrumental breaks. With songs rooted in place, Slough Creek transports listeners to the sagebrush steppe of Wyoming, the salt marsh flats of New England, and the towering forests of their Adirondack home.

The band’s debut, self-titled album was released on June 20, 2026 amid a series of sold out shows at both Pendragon Theatre and Arts Center Lake Placid. 

Slough Creek is led by singer-songwriter Charlie Reinertsen on vocals and rhythm guitar. Marion Hoelzel provides intricate countermelodies on the banjo while singing harmonies that breathe life into each song. Bill Chamberlain provides the pepper and sizzle with dazzling mandolin work, and Jon Zander holds the entire band together through tight bass and masterful instrumental arrangements. Brought together by their love of wild places and the power of a good tune, their music bridges contemporary roots music traditions
