Polecat Creek Original roots county music from the piedmont of North Carolina- the tradition continues today, with latter-day southern songwriting duo, Kari Sickenberger and Laurelyn Dossett. They have been singing together for 10 years, accompanied by some of the finest old-time and bluegrass musicians in North Carolina. The history of Polecat Creek is characterized by a series of fortunate accidents. In the mid 1990’s Kari Sickenberger and Laurelyn Dossett were both living in the Greensboro, NC area.
