CREEKE

Today’s TRACK OF THE DAY is Smokescreen by CREEKE

CREEKE has its roots in the duo of childhood friends Ryan Jaszek and Billy Jones, who covered songs by artists such as the Beatles, Paolo Nutini and Highly Suspect together, and then decided to form a band to perform live and write their own music. Upon discovering their friend Huw Tucker’s ability as a drummer, the foundations upon which CREEKE would be built were laid, with the band initially looking to add a front man, before Jones took up lead vocals permanently. The trio then picked up a bassist, who left after creative differences with some members, and after recruiting current bassist Killian O’kane, the current CREEKE line up was formed.

WANT TO HEAR MORE? CREEKE are taking part in ‘Live From Cargo Rooms’, our brand-new innovative and progressive live-stream project designed to support and shine a spotlight on grassroots artists during a time of unprecedented restrictions on culture and live events.

The live industry has been decimated by Coronavirus, and the livelihoods of many musicians, venues, promoters, agents, managers, sound engineers, videographers and stage reps hang in the balance. Many of these individuals are freelancers, self-employed, or sustain themselves project-to-project, or gig-by-gig.

The shows are free to watch, but we’re also giving you the opportunity to contribute to a personal crowdfunder, specific to each act performing as part of the Live From Cargo Rooms series, in order to keep these musicians and the creatives behind the series afloat until a time where the music scene can return to some form of normality.

We know that times are tough for everyone, which is why you will receive something in return for every donation, no matter how large or small.

This could be tickets to future events, merchandise, exclusive access to new releases, handwritten lyric sheets, limited edition poster prints and much, much more.

Every single donation comes with a reward to thank you for investing in the future of live music!

Tune in to see CREEKE streaming live on Monday, 17 August at 8.00pm HERE
