Slough Creek

Slough Creek is an Americana band based in Saranac Lake, New York in the heart of Adirondack Park. Tight harmonies and hold-onto-your-hat instrumental breaks nestle within a rich bed of acoustic tones and textures. With songs rooted in place, Slough Creek transports listeners from the sagebrush steppe of Wyoming to the towering forests of their Adirondack home.

Brought together by their love of wild places and the power of a good tune, their music bridges contemporary roots music traditions.

Four musicians performing onstage under blue lighting, playing upright bass, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar before an audience.

Meet the band

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.

Slough Creek is available for booking public and private shows in solo singer-songwriter, duo, trio, and full-band quartet arrangements.
