Bridge Creek is a promising new acoustic group from Portland, Oregon that formed in February 2007. With three strong vocalists and songwriters, they knew there was great potential to create a unique and original sound. However, when the voices blended, magic happened and instantly they knew that this would be the signature sound of the group. Lisa Albrecht (lead singer, rhythm guitar, co-songwriter) grew up listening to country music. She has been creating a unique blend of country, folk, and rock for years that is evident in her 2005 debut album "Alive". Her sweet yet powerful vocals coupled with her memorable songwriting style has built her a solid fan base and local radio play. Alan Crouch (bass, vocals, co-songwriter) has been contributing to the local Portland music scene for the last 15 years from the blues-edged rock of Bombay to the rootsy americana of NorthPoint. His bass playing has a focus on simple bluesy roots rhythms and songwriting content spanning freedom, joy, pain, redemption, escape, helping the disenfranchised, and fighting for what you believe in. David Weatherby (lead guitar, vocals, co-songwriter) brings a dynamic improvisational skill and prioritization of eclectic ensemble orchestration over speed and technical wizardry (but don't let that fool you, this guy can really let it rip with a tasteful mix of blues, jazz, and bluegrass influences). His rich, deep singing voice and impeccable ear for pitch and rhythm are a foundation of the Bridge Creek sound. Bridge Creek plays at many local Portland acoustic venues (Women Who Rock series, White Eagle, Duff's Garage, Bitter End Pub and private events). The band has recorded it's first demo CD of several songs. Check here frequently for new material. You might call this our "Exile on 86th Street" period :)
Cheers, Lisa/David/Alan/Scott -- Bridge Creek
