Influences
Our songwriting influences range from Jason Mraz to Cross Canadian Ragweed to Poison and all the way back to Johnny Cash. With every new song, we try to make it ours. They are our originals but we look for something to set it aside from the regular stuff you would hear on the radio. Most of all we influence each other.
Creekwater.....a Southern Rock / Texas Style Country band from North Texas. We consist of Joe, Bobby, Darrell and Chris. Joe and Bobby started this a long time ago when they started playing guitar and writing songs together in Arlington Texas.
Joe started playing guitar at about the age of 10. His Dad played a bit and taught Joe to teach himself how to play using the radio as a guide. He began writing songs and poems a few years before that. He joined an alternative rock band in highschool and played guitar and sang in a few different bands. He finally found his style with Texas Country music. Songwriting and writing poems and lyrics have always come easy to him. After touring as a "roadie" for 6 and a half years with various bands and shows, all over the world. Joe finally settled down in his home state of Texas and started writing more and more music. When he met Bobby Michaels, and finally got the chance to sit down and play a little music with him, an instant eclectic musical bond was made. The music of Creekwater is a direct result of that sound. Joe Plays Fender and Ibanez guitars, uses Martin strings, sings through audio technica mics, and uses boss effects pedals.
Bobby, although hailing from up north, also fell in love the Country style of songwriting. He brings in his rock/metal edge into this project and it seems to work out very well. Bobby is a seasoned songwriter as well, and brings a wealth of musical knowledge to the table. The love of music and playing live keeps him going. Bobby plays Fender, Ibanez, and Gobson guitars. He uses Marshall Amplifiers, and uses InTuneGP custom guitar pics.
Darrell grew up around musicians, and brings that with him to the band. Highly influential in the rhythm section of the band, he can lay a bass line under the melody that makes you say WOW!!. Also a Texas native, he loves playing in this great state. Darrell uses Fender and Peavy basses. He uses Ampeg Amplifiers.
Chris Scheidegger, the newest member of Creekwater, has been playing drums his whole life. He brings a great dynamic to the music of Creekwater. When Creekwater set out of this adventure of trying to find the right drummer to fit their sound, Chris fit the mold, no molding needed.
