OUR STORY
A Family Affair
Paint Creek began as brother-duo Eric and Alec Poore in 2020. Playing private parties and the local pub in their hometown of Williamsburg, Kentucky, led to the brothers beginning to gather a quiet following for their strong vocals and distinctive family harmonies. "Paint Creek" - their debut EP - consists of songs written during the early stages of their songwriting careers, reflecting on the stories of heartbreak and kinship that shaped the two brothers.
