We were live on the radio for over two hours on September 30th, 2016. What a fun experience with a great live audience at the KBEK studios in Braham, MN. Check out their web-site and podcasts. Thank you to Jay and Rory for this opportunity.
“Porcupine Creek maintains a well balanced repertoire with clever and relatable originals, traditional bluegrass favorites, and contemporary bluegrass covers. This group of young pickers aren't scared to take the path less traveled when it comes to song choice and in doing so they are certainly carving their own unique, bluegrass sound that is refreshing and exciting!”

WELCOME
Porcupine Creek is an award winning young bluegrass band based out of Minnesota.
We all grew up playing in various family bands, so despite the young age of our band members everyone in the group has had years of touring and recording experience.
Porcupine Creek has two PBS TV show specials , has won the MBOTMA race for a place competition and placed 2nd in the Minnesota 2016 Americana band contest. We have a live recorded CD, "Monster Truck" and a 2017 studio CD "Porcupine Creek". We have toured and played as Porcupine Creek throughout Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and into northwestern Ontario since 2012.
Please take a look around our web-site and let us know if there is anything we can help you find answers to.
