Take decades of hardscrabble music background, playing everywhere from northern halls that open after the bar closes to biker weddings and New Year’s gigs on the bald prairie at -40 and you will find some of the chemistry that flows in Lightning Creek. Originally coming together to play blues and acoustic country over 30 years ago, forming and reforming bands with and without each other, playing everything from original roots music to grunge and hair band metal, these guys have come back home to what they love –  not necessarily wiser, but definitely well experienced.

Their sound features vocals of both Randy Johns and Greg Jones, and is driven by Johns’ acoustic rhythms and the virtuoso blues harp playing of Jones. All of this is underpinned by the foundation of John Bell’s bass and Aaron Bell”s  drumming and coloured by Wapun’s stage presence.

Their repertoire takes you on a journey of roots/blues stylings by greats such as John Mayall and John Prine, while visiting vivid pictures of Saskatchewan’s  landscape through original songs that are set against backdrops of wildfire, floods, rolling thunder and frozen lakes. So, imagine you are invited to a cabin by Lightning Creek. There’s a storm outside, but you’ll stay dry. Sit back and enjoy while these guys play!

Back for their second Ramble appearance, the Layton family is joined by Morgan’s good friend Rachel Kay to form Northern Creek. After over a year of only playing in our music room we are all so excited to share our music again with all of the ramblers. 

I am Andrea, just Andrea. I grew up in La Ronge Sask, music has been a part of my life for a good 17 years. I am a former Prevention Services Youth Worker and going back to school to acquire a diploma in Mental Health & Wellness.Growing up I was the weird kid, sat alone at lunch and couldn’t keep a solid group of friends, but that’s just me! That’s just who I was and who I am as a person; the last puzzle piece that did not quite fit, so I’ve surrounded myself with many other unique puzzle pieces and I find myself happier these days.When I’m not playing an instrument or singing, I’m helping at-risk youth with their struggles in life, I’m developing new skills every day to help people, especially the youth who suffer with anxiety & depression, while battling with my own struggles and music is the one thing that makes everything better.
