Based in the Atlanta, Ga. area, the Peavine Creek String Band has been in existence in some form since 1976, and the current configuration has been together since 1996. The band plays old-time music for contra dancing and square dancing. It was featured on the Mountain Music and Medicine Show recorded in Dahlonega and aired on Georgia Public Radio on two broadcasts during 2008. Peavine Creek also performs in concert at festivals (Bear on the Square, the Roswell Heritage Festival, among others) coffee houses, private parties and wedding receptions, singing a varied collection of old country songs. The group performs regularly for the Chattahoochee Country Dancers (www.contradance.org) and has played for dances in many venues in the Southeast. Its favorite caller is Doug Singleton of Dahlonega; he’s great with new dancers and experienced dancers alike.

Personnel in alphabetical order are: Albert Smith on fiddle and vocals; Ann Whitley on fiddle, vocals, guitar; Cindy Olsen on bass, vocals, guitar; Doug Olsen on guitar, vocals, mandolin; and John Anderson on banjo and harmonica.
