Since the Salt Creek Boys formed in '98, we've played at bars, parties, festivals, corporate and company events, weddings, picnics - you name it. We'll play for you through the P.A. we bring to the shows, but we also like to stroll and interact with people we meet. We're inclusive: we'll play your requests if we know them (and sometimes even if we don't know them...), we encourage participation and welcome brave souls to the stage - it all adds to the excitement and fun...
