The Piney Creek Weasels is an old-time string band based in Sacramento, California. The Weasels feature a high energy old-timey sound that combines highly entertaining arrangements with tight harmony and dynamic musicianship. A typical performance by the Weasels will feature originals penned by band members, obscure Old Time tunes and a few well-known favorites. Performances often will often end with the audience howling like dogs along with the band. The late banjo virtuoso Rick Abrams formed the group in 1987. Past members of the group include fiddler Dave Rainwater and guitarist Hugh Hoeger.
The Weasels have recorded 5 albums during its existence. The band released a new CD, called Off to California, in November, 2002, on its own Weaseltone label. The CD features fiddler Eric Andersons own lively dance tune, Three Cups Short, and an elegent waltz-time setting of the traditional Irish hornpipe Off to California. Other CDs recorded by the band include Squirrel Heads and Gravy on Hay Holler records and Go Long Mule (Heritage Records).fidbob's station
