“It’s the type of band that keeps people on the floor all night,

… only to demand one encore after another.”

Saddle Up…this band’s name cannot be any more descriptive in the style of music it represents.

Saddle Up’s become the hottest, high-energy country rock band in Pittsburgh’s 7-county region. Examples of high-status gigs include performing at the Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp, headlining county fairs, and sharing the stage with country stars Craig Morgan, Brett Eldredge, Chris Cagle, Travis Tritt, and Brad Paisley.

It all began with frontman and lead singer Mike Garris, and his quest to find the perfect combination of professional musicians for the band. Mike’s passion, dedication, and determination to find the best of the best led him to drummer Jim Spillar, rhythm guitarist Gary Hill, lead guitarist Jay Pfeifer, bassist Bob Lunieski, and Jay Casper on keys.

These 5 individuals create a unique style of country with a rock-like edge. Music lovers from both country and rock n’ roll genres enjoy and appreciate the sounds of Saddle Up.

Tight, dynamic, and punchy bass and drums; blazing guitar riffs; in-your-face rhythm guitars with dual melodies … and an entertaining frontman who knows how to embrace and work a crowd. This rocking country sensation has created a loyal following wherever they play. People of all ages just can’t seem to get enough of the band.

And when it comes to fan appreciation – its fans are a top priority for Saddle Up. It’s evident during every performance as well as in its daily communication and promotions across social media.

Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band is an American roots band formed in West Virginia, with an authentic mountain sound that has earned them a reputation as "mainstream bluegrass at its best" (Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine).

Led by vocalist and bassist Libby Files, Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band pays homage to a simpler time when front porch picking and gospel-tinged harmonies were the heart of rural community gatherings. Their repertoire includes both original compositions and classic bluegrass favorites, delivering a diverse range of songs that evoke the spirit of the Appalachian Mountains.

After reaching No. 1 in 2020 with "A Miner's Life," Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band has continued to score hits on roots music and bluegrass charts with heartfelt songs and blue-collar appeal. Their latest single, a cover of Dillards’ "There is a Time," spent more than a year at No. 1 and was the top RMR bluegrass song of 2023. The song also spent two weeks in Cashbox Magazine’s top ten. Fueled by the success of its singles, the album A Miner’s Life spent a remarkable four weeks at No. 1 on RMR’s album charts. Several earlier releases, penned by guitarist Kenton "Red" Catlett, reached No. 1 on the RMR charts thanks to a resurgence in radio airplay.

Known for their down-home sound and instrumental prowess honed through two decades of entertaining audiences, Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band is firmly planting its roots in the rich soil of traditional mountain bluegrass.

BAND MEMBERS

Libby Files (bass and vocals) - Libby is the founder of Stoney Creek. "Libby is among the rising number of female vocalists who are making a big impact on bluegrass music," said Frank Jurney, founder of Virginia's Berryville Bluegrass Series. Libby is based in West Virginia.

Brett Smeltzer (mandolin and vocals) - Brett's mandolin and vocal skills have been a major part of Stoney Creek's neotraditional sound. Brett previously played with "Maryland's Five String King" Jack Sanbower and the No Leeway Band. Brett is also a broadcaster on the award-winning radio station The Bluegrass Jamboree. Brett is based in West Virginia.

Kenton "Red" Catlett (guitar and vocals) - Kenton's songwriting, vocal, and guitar skills have propelled his original songs, including "Fast Train," "Thirty Years" and "The Traveling Song," to the top spots on bluegrass radio charts. Catlett performed and recorded with Libby's sister, the late Deanna Stottlemyer, arranging many of the songs that would later appear on Stoney Creek's Memories & Tears album. Kenton is based in West Virginia.

Rylan Rissler (banjo and vocals) - Rylan joined Stoney Creek in 2024, at the age of 17. Rylan has been playing the banjo since 2020. Bluegrass Today wrote that Stoney Creek is Rylan's "first professional engagement with a band." Rylan is based in Pennsylvania.

The A’Cappella Kinda Guys is made up of Jim Vanvleet, Chuck O’Donnell, Jeff Welch, and Dennis Tice. The group was formed in California back in 1987 while the members were in the Air Force. “We formed a group just for a talent show,” says Tice. “We won the talent show, went on eventually to the SAC, the Strategic Air Command, and won that and we won the Air Force talent show…we thought it was hilarious,” laughed Tice.

They have known each other for over 35 years and only see each other about once a year for just four or five days at a time. During that time, they perform and write original songs about people in Bedford County and the surrounding areas. They sing covers and originals, harmonizing like old friends and bringing smiles to all who hear them.

Iconic folk singer. Comfortable clothing, relaxed, harmonious, and beautiful.

These musicians are music educators, studio teachers, and freelance performers with a shared passion: “To bring high-quality live music to Central Pennsylvania.”

Coltt Winter Lepley is an Appalachian folksinger, songwriter, poet, fiction author, and artist.

Velveeta was formed in the summer of 1995 in State College, PA as pretty much a joke, with the intention of playing occasionally doing only the finest in cheesy 80's music. By the following spring, we were playing 3 nights a week and the joke apparently was on us. Since then we've played all over PA and East Coast in all kinds of situations (very little we haven't done at this point).

We've been through a couple of personnel changes but as of 2008 we have regrouped with 4 original members and are currently quite simply a lean mean rocking machine.
