American neighborhood of South Buffalo, NY in 2010,
Crikwater have become the premier Irish American Traditional
Folk Band in Western New York, appearing numerous times at
both the Buffalo Irish Festival, South Buffalo Irish Feis
and Expo, & most recently the Hornell Irish Fest.
Boasting four multi-instrumentalists and an energetic live
show, Crikwater stays true to the venerable Irish and
American folk traditions with arrangements that include
multi-part vocal harmonies and intricate musicianship. The
pub-scene veterans offer up a mix of fiery fiddle tunes,
rowdy pub sing-a-longs, elegant ballads & original
songs, and their music conjures scenes of gritty smoke
filled Irish pubs, whiskey, pints of stout, and good
craic." Ben Garvey on 6 string guitar and
vocals, Erik Wollschlager on bass and backup vocals, Michael
Reardon on tenor guitar, vocals and percussion, with Tim
Hughes on accordion, and vocals. The band plays anywhere from pubs,
