The Steel Wheels

From their base in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, this acoustic roots music collective has played the most prestigious festivals, listening rooms, and clubs in the world, cementing a reputation as one of the top independent bands. The Steel Wheels give folk, folk rock and Appalachian roots music a modern twist. Their records and performances are dynamic and vary from beautiful heartbreaking songs to wild instrumental frenzy. Whether at a summer festival, in their shows across the country and beyond, or in the studio, The Steel Wheels continue their mission: shaking up traditions to see what sticks, telling stories, and joining communities through song.

The Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound.”
