The Steel Wheels are renowned for their raw energy and chemistry on stage, where they often cluster tightly around a single microphone to deliver a heady brew of original, soulful mountain music. With bell-clear harmonies inspired by their shared Mennonite heritage, this dynamic four-piece string band from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound and lifestyle, generating a truly magnetic revival. With their fiddle, bass, mandolin and guitar The Steel Wheels have enthralled the contemporary Americana scene.
Their breakout album, Red Wing, spent 13 weeks on the Americana Music Association's Top 40 Chart. The band was nominated for five Independent Music Awards in 2010, with "Nothing You Can't Lose" taking top honors as Best Country Song. The Steel Wheels continue to take the Americana scene by storm with their latest album, Lay Down, Lay Low, which lingered for 10 weeks on the AMA's Top 40 Chart. NPR named "Rain in the Valley" their Song of the Day, marveling that the "heavy hymn . . . is sparse and dense all at once."
