Creeping out of the hollers and hideouts of eastern Kentucky, come The Creekers with
a sound as crisp as the mountain morning air, and a rhythm as steady as a front porch
rocking chair. The Creekers summed up in one word: genuine. The Creekers are a
lively, six-piece, band that blends authentic bluegrass music with country and pop
influences. Generational roots run deep in Leslie County, Kentucky, where The
Creekers formed over a shared love for the timeless sounds of traditional American
music…..”Hillbilly music.” In fact, The Creekers name is inspired by the small creeks
and hollers of home, reflecting their commitment to music that’s authentic, unpolished,
and deeply rooted in the land and culture of their upbringing. Over the past couple of
years, The Creekers have played bars, small rooms, and festivals. As a result, the band
has built a loyal fan base, and earned a reputation for fun, energetic, live shows filled
with fiery instrumentals, raw emotion, and a genuine connection to their audience. The
band released their first album, Pour Me In The Creek, in 2024. As the prolific bug bit
‘em, the band churned out their next project with the introspective EP, River Rat. Turns
out, they had more loyal fans than they’d bargained for because their song “Tennessee”
shot to top 5 of Spotify’s Viral 50-USA chart and parked there for multiple weeks in the
summer of 2025. The Creekers are Tanner Horton (vocals, lead guitar), Allen Hacker
(vocals, rhythm guitar), Jagger Bowling (bass, vocals), Ashton Bowling (cajon), Scott
Sutton (banjo, vocals), and Anna Blanton (fiddle), the only non-Kentucky native, but the
rest of the group laughingly forgives her.
