Starting out in a Rutgers campus dorm, Yuri Turchyn, Andy Fediw, Jerry Kopychuk, and Stan Taylor co-founded the country rock band Kinderhook Creek where Yuri’s original songwriting skills shined. After dropping “Creek,” Kinderhook, a band that marked the success of the nascent New Jersey music scene, became a symbol of the 1970s country-rock era. Their performances at countless clubs and music venues such as the Palladium, The Stone Pony, Capitol Theater, and the 1975 Schaeffer Summer Music Festival were unparalleled, often famously highlighting Jean Luc Ponty’s New Country and a fiery OBS (Orange Blossom Special). This diverse musical journey led to the band becoming arguably one of the most popular acts in New Jersey in the 1970s.
        They are legendary and still playing to their forever fans.
