New CD for bluegrass outfit

Paul's Creek Band is out with a new CD. They are an occassional performer at Well-Bred in Weaverville. Here's the release.

Local bluegrass group Paul’s Creek Band will celebrate the release of its new CD “Paul’s Creek” with a free performance and release party from 8 pm to 10 pm on Saturday (June 26) at the new Pack Tavern on the Green Downtown in Asheville.
For the first time, fiddler Arvil Freeman accompanies the band on the album and returns to the Hayes and Hopsons building for the first time since he was house fiddler at Bill Stanley's Barbecue and Bluegrass.
Having already played MerleFest, LEAF and the Grove Park Inn, among other venues this year, Paul’s Creek Band brings a multitude of musical sounds together to provide an original, acoustic sound to the stages it crosses.
"You can tell the members of Paul's Creek Band like each other,” said Grammy winner David Holt. “It comes through in their smooth harmonies, their solid playing and the infectious good time they bring to their shows.”
The members are all local to the Western North Carolina region. Vocalist and dancer Carol Rifkin (co-host of WNCW’s (88.7 FM) “This Old Porch”); Hot Springs native, banjoist Troy Harrison; Buncombe County native, bass player Jamie Soesbee and Freeman are the four pieces that create the Paul’s Creek Band harmonies and chemistry.
