Wayward Creek

Wayward Creek is Debbie Cushman, Megan Druckrey, Elizabeth Giffin and Mary Nienaber. We play a mix of folk, bluegrass, traditional and other music as inspired by the setting. 

Debbie grew up in Madison, WI. She was a Suzuki piano kid and picked up guitar as an adult. An HR professional by day, Debbie uses some of her free time to sing with these fabulous Creek sisters, other folk groups and Mila Vocal Ensemble. Previously she also released several records with the alt-country duo Footfall. To keep up with what's going on, head over to debbiecushmanmusic.com. 
 

Megan grew up in Milwaukee and moved to Minneapolis in 2002 to attend Augsburg College, but liked it so much here that she stayed! Megan works as a music therapist for a local hospice program, was a former violist for the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, and plays fiddle once a month for a bluegrass church service in North Minneapolis called “Roots and Wings." In her spare time, Megan enjoys listening to her record collection, napping, and snuggling her four chickens. 

Elizabeth is originally from Dunlap, IL and works in hospice as a counselor and music therapist. She enjoys exploring various instruments and isn't afraid to play any of them anywhere. She can revive an accordion using unconventional methods and recently brought a washboard and a new stomp box into the fold. Elizabeth loves to try new restaurants and soak up all the live music the Cities has to offer. 

Mary grew up in Minneapolis and also spent many years living in Duluth. She's been involved in providing church and other music for many years and has absolutely no academic preparation for it. Recently retired, a highlight of her week is caring for and going on adventures with her new-ish granddaughter. Mary plays the guitar upside down and likes light beer - two facts for which she feels no need to apologize.
