T S Reichard.......... Guitar, Vocals

The Carter Creek String Band was formed by Ray Franks, George Grandlund, Fred Bynum, Jack Howell, Jim Curtis and Joe Verschaeve in 2012 along the beautiful and prominent tributary to the Platte Watershed known as Carter Creek.. Since then there has been retirements and additions to the band.

Winter Evening Sound Bath
Peaceful Vibrations

Saturday, December 20 at 6:30 pm

This special sound bath event at Mills Community House are designed to welcome all. This new moon and winter solstice sound bath will give participants an opportunity to relax and reflect as 2025 comes to a close.

Sliding scale admission: $25-$40

Each session begins with a guided meditation (10-15 minutes) designed to either balance our energy centers and clear out what is not serving us and/or prepare our minds for deep relaxation followed by the soothing sounds of the crystal singing bowls and other instruments. Tune in and drift away...
​
Please bring whatever you need to get comfy (the floor is HARD) such as a mat, blanket(s), pillows or cushions.
