I had a great time at Glendale Glitters last night…it’s a huge block party with 1.5 million lights, over 20 hot air balloons, a plethora of food vendors, and, a dozen live bands.  While there was great music around every corner, one act really stood out to me…the “Oak Creak Band,” from Denver, Colorado.  This 6-member ensemble captivated my attention for a good 4-5 songs, all of which were their own tunes I believe. I noticed that they were hocking some merchandise, including CDs, so I purchased one for the ride home.

The CD, entitled: “The Oak Creek Band,” only has six songs on it, but I listened to them all…twice!  The music has a distinct and diverse sound.  One tune had a hint of reggae, while another with a subtle flair for disco…the others had a folksy rock sound.  I’m a huge music fan, but by no means am I a music critic…I just know good music when I hear it and think you should have a listen if you enjoy being introduced to new talent.   Have a look at the video clip I put together from last night…the audio isn’t stellar, but you’ll get a feel.  You can also listen to their latest tune by clicking the “play” button below, or visiting OakCreekBand.com for more info.
