Creed Fisher

If you listen to a just a few tracks from his latest album, you might think Creed Fisher was born with a guitar in his hand. One after another, his songs are so relevant today, yet steeped in tradition that you may think you missed out on a classic that everyone else already knows. However, this West Texas native only picked up a guitar six short years ago to start writing and performing. And with nothing more than some hard times and soul searching, Fisher weaves a familiarity into his songs that is more often found in the timeless hits of well known artists.

It’s not surprising that genuine emotion rises through the lyrics and melodies of Fisher’s songs. Clearly he is sharing his own stories, with experiences that range from great victories to some that have left deep battle scars. Fisher hails from Odessa, Texas, where his family roots trace back to his granddad, settling in the area back in the fifties and getting involved in the oil game. Playing football since he was ten years old in the very heart of football country, Fisher went on to play in the Minor Leagues for nine years.

As his football career came to a close, Fisher also saw his marriage of twelve years come to an end. It is at this point that he decided to do some serious “soul searching” after losing two of the things that he had loved the most. Fisher tells us that the music simply “found him” during this time. He picked up a guitar and never let it go.
