About Cream City Folk
A blend of acoustic guitar, mandolin and lush vocal harmonies
Cream City Folk musicians John and MJ combine rich acoustic guitar with mandolin and close harmonies rarely heard today. They mix the sweet joy of bluegrass, the quiet authenticity of folk music and the driving energy of Americana-style rock into a stage act that is sweet tonic for the senses…and always fun.
