Who is Cream City?

What is the recipe for a successful bluegrass band? Well there are many, but few are as well crafted as Cream City’s. First, add a lot of bluegrass experience; two members have been playing bluegrass since the local bluegrass boom in the 70’s. Next add a healthy helping of musicality, here several members are classically trained (we let them play with us anyway). Next add a dose of authenticity with members coming from the south. To keep a fresh perspective, we’ve added a newcomer to the music.

The recipe is not quite complete. Add reverence for the traditions of Bill Monroe, the Stanley brothers and Jimmy Martin. Cream City also pays attention to entertaining audiences as well, providing education and an off beat sense of humor.

Cream City’s musicians play guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and bass. They might also surprise you by pulling out a viola mandola, claw hammer banjo or mando cello

With over a year spent in finding just the right ingredients, the result is one of the finest new bands in southeast Wisconsin specializing in bluegrass and gospel music.
