About Molasses Creek Band
Nobody puts Molasses Creek in a box. That may be because of their claustrophobia and personal space issues. But it has manifested in a 30+ year run of unpredictable and delightful musical choices. Each member contributes ideas and original music. They move between whimsical and sincere in a way that makes you believe that balancing both might be the key to life. Molasses Creek up -- blood pressure down. Try it. It works. ~ Louis Allen
