The Steel Wheels in Concert Presented by CU Folk and Roots Festival
The Steel Wheels are subtle innovators who respect the
past but whistle their own tunes, layering in rich textures
and decidedly modern energy to forge a new sound.
They fit best among musicians like Langhorne Slim,
Gillian Welch, or Adrienne Young and Little Sadie (with
whom they've shared the stage) deft musicians making
a name for themselves by creating their own particular
permutation of traditional forms. Yet the Steel Wheels
share much with new Americana favorites like the Avett
Brothers or Old Crow Medicine Show, with charisma that
causes toes to tap and heads to nod, audiences hanging
on their every word. Like those bands, The Steel Wheels
have broad appeal. And they count among their fans
former Statler Brother Jimmy Fortune and indie folk
darlings Over the Rhine.
