Max Creek 8/21/25 Hartford Live

 CT Hippies assemble! Could be the title of a long lost Creek bootleg. Maiden voyage of the 2025 Hartford Live series. The Infinity Hall crew brings in some jam bands and facilitates a free show behind the Old State House. Max Creek started as a Dead cover band in the 70s and played every Keg House and Whitney Winery that has opened and then closed. Like a keepsake from another time, the Creek just keeps on truckin. At one point, they may have been living on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine but now it’s largely statins, prevagen and Metamucil. Decent crowd for a nice weather Thursday night. The setlist was happily predictable: Walking in  Jerusalem, The Shape I’m In,  In Harmony,  Sadie ( Spinners cover), DarkWater,She Belongs To Me (Dylan),  Wild Side, Hand In My Pocket ( Morissette),  Keep Your EyesOn the Prize, Blood Red Roses, Drums,  Outside of Home, Tangled Up In Blue,  Peaceful Warrior, Down In the Jungle,  Something  is Forming. Encored with an epic Cassidy ( Grateful Dead) and Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. When the world is burning from climate change and democracy seems to be going to hell in a bucket baby, it’s nice to know the Creek is still available to help you enjoy the ride.
