Kyle Creed (1912–1982) was an influential musician and banjo luthier of 20th century Appalachia.[1] Along with Tommy Jarrell, and Fred Cockerham, he was a central figure of the Roundpeak-style old-time music that began to find an outside audience in the 1960s, and his clawhammer banjo playing came to shape banjo practices in the Old-time music tradition.[2]
