Welcome to Bean Creek's Website!

 
 

We'll keep you posted here about upcoming gigs, band news, and anything of interest to the local bluegrass fan. We'll also be adding to the site in the coming months - great links, more pictures and videos, and a guestbook to sign up for our e-mailing list. Thanks for stopping by.

What's New?
We have been having a great time playing our regular gigs at Phil's Fish Market and Sam's BBQ. We are pleased that the regular crowd at Sam's has gotten quite a bit bigger over the last year ! Thanks to all our buddies from over the hill who come to see us!

We'd love for you to check out our CD! It's called "Dirty Water", and it's in stores everywhere. Well, actually you might need to order one from us if you want one.

Sam of Sam's BBQ was kind enough to take a video of us playing 1952 Vincent Black Lightning, which he put on Youtube. Check it out.....thanks, Sam!! Sam also included us in his spot on a local tv show. Take a peek....

Did you hear the big news? Billy was crowned Best Male Vocalist at the Northern California Bluegrass Award show in Redwood City for the 2nd year in a row! Go, Billy!!

We have some more videos on Youtube! They were taken at the 2008 Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival by Nancy Zuniga. She actually put many on there of the great acts we were all lucky to see at the festival. Billy rocks on Will You Be Lonesome and belts it out with feeling on Faded Rose. Let us know what you think!! Much appreciation to Nancy for documenting so much of the festival !!

We started out the New Year playing a short set for the Santa Clara Valley Fiddler's Association monthly jam on January 4th, which was a lot of fun. Since Rob was on vacation, we had our buddy John Kael sit in on banjo and also had the pleasure of adding Annie Staninec on fiddle for the set, as well. A lot of the regulars at the monthly jam remember Annie as a young teenager, so it was fun for them to see her all grown up and playing like a professional! John hadn't been there for 10 years, but mentioned that it was there that he started playing with the folks that eventually became the band Roanoke! Anyway, we all had fun and enjoyed having the young clogger, Cheyenne, clog a few numbers with us, as well! Check out more about her here.

We had a great time at the 2009 Parkfield Bluegrass Festival over Mother's Day weekend!! Thanks so much to Ed and all of those involved with Bluegrass Music Association of the Central Coast. They did a fine job at putting on the festival. If you missed it, put it on the calendar now, for next year!!

Where can you see us?
Well, we play at Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month. Phil's is a great place to hear music and get a mighty fine fish dinner.
