DESCRIPTION:In those rare instances that a band reaches its sixth decade\,
  it’s usually a result of stardom. It’s easy enough to keep things tog
 ether when each member has a jet and techs on retainer and the world tour 
 rolls around every few years. But that’s not how Max Creek has done it. 
 In 40+ years Max Creek has been small\, big\, regionally-huge\, medium\, a
 nd any other size one can think of\; they’ve never graced the cover of R
 olling Stone\, but you’d be hard pressed to find a music fan in the Nort
 heast that hadn’t heard of them. Well then\, how’d they do it? If you 
 knew Max Creek you’d answer simply\, “they just did.” Creek lacks pr
 etense\; there is no hip style or genre-title that can define them. From t
 he beginning they’ve mixed anything they liked—rock\, country\, reggae
 \, soul\, jazz\, calypso—in with their own great songs and it’s all ju
 st come out sounding like Creek. As such they’ve never been the hot item
  in the flavor-of-the-year club yet they’ve also never gone out of style
 . Moreover\, Creek exudes confidence but lacks ego\; each member is an inc
 redible musician but that’s never been what it was about. But that is al
 l things Creek is not\, and what Creek is is far more important. The band 
 is certainly joyous\, and their stage is full of smiles and laughter\, bot
 h during and between songs. All one has to do is glance into the crowd to 
 see that the feeling is contagious. Creek is also much more engaging than 
 the average band\, sculpting lengthy shows on-the-fly from their 200+ song
  catalog with rockers\, ballads\, deep jams and crowd sing-alongs all tuck
 ed into their perfect places. And Creek is\, most definitely\, a family. 4
 0-odd years in\, the audience is a multi-generational stew\; it’s not un
 common to witness old-school Creek Freeks getting down with their teenage 
 (or older!) kids. Creek itself is multigenerational. Though the “front l
 ine” of guitarist Scott Murawski\, keyboardist Mark Mercier and bassist 
 John Rider has remained intact since the mid-70s\, the current drums and p
 ercussion team of Bill Carbone and Jamemurrell Stanley weren’t even born
  when Max Creek was founded.\nTickets: https://ironhorse.org/shows\nFull l
