---

Bluegrass

Arthur Hatfield & Buck Creek was formed in January 1994. Original members consisted of Arthur Hatfield on banjo, Gary Minor on guitar, Jimmy Railey on dobrotm and Johnny Day on bass. Each member had worked with other bands and brought to the group different ideas. By May of 1994 the band had made it's debut recording. Arthur Hatfield and Buck Creek performed many show dates that first year including the prestigious "First Night Celebration" on New Years Eve at Bowling Green Kentucky! In the year to follow Railey decided to move to AlabAMa and further his education and was replaced by Ricky Burch. Burch brought to the band his own ideas as well as the fiddle and mandolin. It was also during this time that the band started working on their now fAMous vocal harmonies. 1996 saw the group record it's second project and start gaining in recognition and popularity! In 1999 the band ended the millennium by recording their first Gospel recording! At the request of fans around the country Arthur Hatfield & Buck Creek has already started working on a fourth release due to be completed early in 2001.
