               NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Nashville-based indie rock band Cold Creeks performed a major turnout show at the East Room in Nashville on Nov. 12, drawing fans from across Middle Tennessee.

                Cold Creeks was founded in 2014 and is originally from Mount Juliet, Tennessee. The band also is considered a blues band. The band consists of bass player Caleb Jones, lead singer Brandon Murphy, drummer Anthony Persinger, and band manager Fletcher Moore.

 Cold Creeks competed in Lighting 100 FM’s “Live on the Green” contest. The band would have played at “Live on the Green” had it placed first. Members of the band said they will compete again next year. The band has also played at Main Street Bar and Grille in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and had an album release show for their album, “Mindful Spirits,” at Grimey’s New and Preloved Music in Nashville. The band recently announced that their newest EP, “Prequel,” is available in local record stores such as Grimey’s New and Preloved Music in Nashville, as well as online sites including iTunes.

                The East Room is nestled on a stretch of Gallatin Pike that serves as East Nashville’s main drag. This multi-use space routinely hosts rock concerts and pop-up art shows.

“It was one of the best turnouts we have ever had, and hopefully this doesn’t sound too bad, but I thoroughly enjoyed every band that played, and I usually can’t say that,” said lead singer Brandon Murphy.

                The show drew a big turnout, filling the room. Three different bands played the venue. The other bands were Cloudship and Chrome Pony, which opened for Cold Creeks. Whether the audience was there for Cold Creeks or not, everyone was having a blast.

The audience especially got “in the groove” when Cold Creeks played its new single, “Mr. Blue Face.” Another hit was their song, “Silver Tongue Apostles.” These songs were written and recorded by the band and can be found on Soundcloud, iTunes and Spotify.

The band is currently working on an unannounced new album that bass player Caleb Jones said “is on the hush-hush.” The band has no listed schedule but plans to do a tour in the near future.

                “I really like where this band is heading,” said band manager Fletcher Moore. “The gigs are getting bigger responses and audiences, so whether we make any money on some small gig like this or not, I am still happy.”
