Several years ago we were floating Westwater Canyon and came across a boat full of kids and two women. They were floating in a little micro eddy above one of the larger rapids and were screaming "help"and waving their arms. I thought for sure someone had died after flipping a boat and we were going to be floating a body out of the canyon. But as we approached they said they were fine but were not expecting that big of rapids and were wondering if we could oar thier boat out the rest the way, which we did. They turned out to be a bluegrass band from Alaska called Bearfoot Bluegrass and had just won the best new band at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, which is a big deal. They ended up giving us a bunch of smoked salmon and some of thier CDs. anyway just the other day I heard one of thier new songs on the radio, so I looked up their website and they are actually getting quite popular in the bluegrass genre. Check them out. I emailed them the other day and asked if they remembered Westwater and they emailed back saying they would never forget it!
Heres a little video of Creed last year on Westwater
