Scott Jackson

Scott Jackson was born on 10/20/82 in Oberlin, Ohio. Most of his young life was
spent between Ohio and Alderson, WV, where his mother's family had resided for
generations on Muddy Creek Mountain. Scott began playing guitar at the age of 4
after watching and listening to his dad play since his birth. His passion for
playing music continued to grow throughout his life. He explored several
different genres of music to further develop his playing ability, including
classical, rock, blues, jazz, folk, country, and bluegrass. He found that
bluegrass music had lit a fire in his soul and had made its home in his heart.
At the age of 19, he decided to try his hand at the mandolin, finding
inspiration in the traditional sounds of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers,
and the more progressive sounds of Tony Rice. He began attending bluegrass jams
and festivals to expand his horizons in the bluegrass world. In 2001, he met
fellow bluegrass lovers, Jiles and Cory Williams, and the three became fast
friends. Together they realized their combined sound was such that perhaps they
should begin to play professionally. Taking the name from Scott's family's
home, The Muddy Krick Mountain Boys were formed. Now after playing with the
band for over 5 years, Scott still loves the band and its members. He believes
the key to a good band is strong relationships, common interests, and practice!,
practice!, practice!!! He currently resides in Westlake, Ohio with his loving
family. He continues to develop his talent and his individual sound and
couldn't be more delighted than to share his music and his love of bluegrass
music with friends and family . . . and with YOU!

Jiles Williams

I was born in May 1977 in Avon, OH which was a little town can’t say much about it now. I grew up listing to bluegrass and country music which gave me the will to play music with my friends and family. My musical background helped me to play bass when I was 6 years old and I’ve been playing it ever since. I started playing guitar about 4 years ago. I was inspired by my Uncle Evertt Lilly of The Lilly Brothers who traveled all over the world. I love to get out there and play bluegrass music and have fun with it.
