BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

A native Kansan who's lived in Arkansas 19 years, Sue grew up singing at church and talent shows, playing piano, flute, and guitar, and added mandolin and mountain dulcimer as an adult. As an herbalist, she is self-taught and was a gardener/interpreter at the Ozark Folk Center in 1986-7. She also planted an herb garden at the Meadowcreek Project near Fox, AR as well as taught self-sufficiency skills there. A graduate of Kansas State University, she also taught Junior and Senior High Schools for 4 years in Kansas. Her interest in herbs originated with her studies in organic and whole foods, organizing food coops while in Kansas. Both a teacher and a student, she loves to lead wildflower walks in the beautiful Ozark forests. She was employed at Stone County Ironworks, doing photography and image editing, web updates, and advertising projects. Currently, DVD music projects are the latest technology being developed on her MAC G5, with Raymond as the videographer.

Raymond  and Sue performed regularly for nearly 6 years at the Ozark Folk Center in Mtn. View. They became a duo about 10 years ago, then tied the marital knot the end of June 2001. Together, they've recorded 8 CDs.  The most recent recording is a called Fusion, using more electric instruments and percussion, a departure from the previous CD and DVD entitled Mountain Serenity. Their previous recording  is "Light in Your Eyes," all original songs by Raymond, in bluegrass style.  Also "Retrospective," recaptures 3 original recordings of Raymond's from 1978 through 1982. Before getting together, Raymond had recorded 4 albums of his own compositions, "Blind Fiddler," "Raymond," "One Night in June," and "Decatur County Boy."  Sue recorded one previous collection of folk music, "Dave & Sue," and played in the Dixie Darlings, and Legacy with Bob and Debra Davis. Debra played penny whistle and cello on Shamrock Dreams.

Raymond Creasy grew up in the rural Tennessee traditions of folk, bluegrass and country music, becoming Tennessee banjo champ while still a teenager. He expanded his musical horizons while living in Memphis, playing with blues legends, beat bands, and rock and roll groups.  At the same time, he was a graphic artist and songwriter.

Silver Hawk, The Lick Creek Band, The Flying J Wranglers, Toad Suck Symphony, are a few of the groups he's played with in the past.  He's toured throughout the Midwest and West, and became a regular performer at the Cowboy in Durango, and the Chuckwagon in Ruidoso, and  hosted a weekly TV program in New Mexico, "Mountain Musical." As an artist, he's been commissioned to produce logos, signs, murals galore in a several county region. If you've travelled Hwy. 65 between Clinton and Harrison, or if you've taken the blue highways in scenic north-central Arkansas, you've seen some of his work.
