ROCK CREEK HARMONY

Rock Creek Harmony is a recently formed trio of singers and musicians from Manton. Their name is a tribute to Rock Creek, flowing through their town.

After moving from the Bay Area she spent seven years presiding over The Manton Music and Arts Program and teaching vocals and guitar. Patti was the key to raising funds for the program. The other two members of the trio Jade and Bailey were students of hers, and are accomplished musicians in their own right. They have performed at local wineries and private events.   Together, their goal is to convey the harmonious bluegrass and country sounds of yesterday with songs of today. This not your grandmas bluegrass. This is the flowing sounds of Rock Creek.
