Springfield, Missouri based modern folk minstrels and Ozark originals Cindy Woolf and Mark Bilyeu perform as the Creek Rocks recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with Cindy and Mark.

Cindy Woolf & Mark Bilyeu are now collectively known as The Creek Rocks.  Cindy and Mark bring traditional Ozark music into the modern acoustic world.  This husband and wife duo formed a few years back after both enjoyed successful careers as musicians based out of Springfield, MO.  Cindy a solo performer and Mark, former member of Big Smith, found a kinship on multiple levels.  Their performance at the Ozark Folk Center State Park features a number of traditional and regional songs from the recorded archives of folklorists Max Hunter and John Quincy Wolf.

“‘Wolf Hunter’ is the debut CD by The Creek Rocks from Springfield, Missouri. The title is an amalgam of the names of the two folklorists whose collections provided the raw materials for the songs on the album -- John Quincy Wolf of Batesville, Arkansas and Max Hunter of Springfield, Missouri. Cindy Woolf was raised in Batesville, along the southern foothills of the Ozarks Mountain region, and Mark Bilyeu hails from Springfield, located atop the Ozarks Plateau. They began their musical collaboration in 2003 with Mark at the helm for Woolf’s debut CD “Simple and Few.” They married each other in 2013, shortly after the release of Cindy’s third solo CD, “May.” Joining them on Wolf Hunter are bassist Jason Chapman, also known from The Chapmans, the award-winning family bluegrass band; and percussionist Jay Williamson, who is a sixteen-year veteran of another family band, Big Smith, of which Mark was a founding member as well. Big Smith released seven CDs during their tenure, and Mark has a solo album to his credit, 2005's ‘First One Free.’” - http://www.thecreekrocks.com/#about-section
