Lemon Creek Is No More—Hope Savage Coming Soon.

Lesley has decided to take a break from performing. We would like to thank our families, friends, and fans for their support over the years. Lemon Creek’s first performance was in January of 2018, and its last October 26, 2024.

We performed as a quintet in 2018, with Jim Nelson, then Michael Harris joining us on guitars. From 2019 on we were a quartet. Jon Grover played drums until he was replaced by Gary Snyder when we began performing again after a Covid pandemic hiatus. Doug Hyldahl played bass the entire time.

It has been the highlight of my entire musical career to play with these great musicians and friends, and especially with my daughter, Lesley. Thanks again to all who came out to hear us over the years.

My latest band, “Hope Savage,” will begin performing in 2026—stay tuned!

A Great Summer Of Outdoor Performances!

It was great to get back out and perform after nearly two years, due to the pandemic. All of our performances were outdoors, and the weather cooperated!

Here are some photos of a couple of our summer performances.
