Cattaraugus Creek Press Kit
Our Story
Cattaraugus Creek started as Kirk Windus' solo project. Prior to starting Cattaraugus Creek, Windus featured as the keyboard player in Pat Yeomans (formerly of the Barry Brothers) and the Flour City Sons, which performed in the Rochester, NY area.
The first song for the debut Cattaraugus Creek album, "Sharon and the Riverbed" was written during that period, setting the Cattaraugus Creek sound on a course, influenced by folk and Americana and songwriters like Dallas Green of City and Colour, Jason Isbell, Gregory Alan Isakov and more.
The rest of the songs on the album were written and recorded in 2019 with the help of Jared Feldman (engineering, guitar), Tim Kelley (of Evan Castle and the Southern Tier, guitars and bass), Merrill Strauss (guitars) and Jordan Strauss (drums).
After a brief hiatus due to lineup changes and COVID-related delays, the Cattaraugus Creek full band reformed in 2022 with Steve Capitani on lead guitar, Cole Ramsey on drums, Jackie Hitchcock on vocals and Tyler Veno continuing on bass and has been playing shows and writing new songs.
