--------------------------------------------“Andy Thorn is a young banjoist who is fast emerging as one of a new generation of hot pickers. For his latest creation, "Bolin Creek," he has amassed some top-flight talent resulting in 14 energetic performances with a strong contemporary quality, while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Featured are several lead vocalists including Andy on "All That I Can Take," Larry Keel ("I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home"), Rick Hauchman singing his self-penned murder ballad "Up Above," and Miles Andrews on J.R. Robertson's "The Shape I'm In." The instrumental highlights include "Leavin Town," "Sundog," "Winter's Mourning" (highlighting the fiddling of John Garris), and the title tune. "Bolin Creek" is totally delightful production and establishes Andy Thorn as a rising star in bluegrass music.”

“What a killer debut! You’ve written some arresting material which you play and sing with energy and excitement. I especially enjoyed "Garris,""Winter's Mourning," "Up Above," "The Snake" and, of course, "I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home" (Larry Keel always amazes me!). Your originals deserve special recognition--they're melodic, deftly executed and good enough to where they'll stand the test of time. Congratulations on a fine project”

"I've had the pleasure of playing with Andy on a couple of occasions and he drives it the way it should be driven. His single - string playing cuts a wide swath of excitement across one's brain. Keep your eyes and ears on this guy!"

While much of the mainstream bluegrass of today is pieced together in the studio, "Bolin Creek," was recorded live in Thorn's living room. This allowed the players to react to each other rather than overdub perfect solos. What came out of this comfortable environment is some of the best work of all the players featured, as well as great representations of Andy's original songs. Featuring Larry and Jenny Keel, John Garris, Mark Schimick, Jon Stickley, Travis Book, Miles Andrews, Lauren Craig, as well as a previously unreleased track from the Big Fat Gap, this all star cast can pick and sing with the best of them. The CD is available for order on CD Baby at,
