Manatawny Creek Ramblers ..... est. 2004
Origins of The Moonlight Forest in Berks County, the Philly area Bluegrass, Indie Folk band playing a mix of traditional and original music featuring seasoned pro musicians (banjo, fiddle, upright bass) rallied round the songs and spirit of band leader Daniel "Scrappy" Bower (guitar). They all sing. Like a campfire.
Currently the band is working on their 3rd studio release, Late For Church (a collection of gospel favorites done only the way MCR can do). When asked how olds the band, Bower said "we been playin gigs in basements & beer joints, churches & train yards, corners & county fairs since before we were born. Who are we to stop this runaway train?"
