The Steel Wheels

August 25 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

$20.61

A Virginia-based Americana band with a strong bluegrass underpinning, the Steel Wheels have captured the hearts of music lovers everywhere.

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 where the band was formed, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. Officially adopting the The Steel Wheels name with the 2010 release of their album Red Wing, they quickly began staking their claim as independent upstarts in the burgeoning Americana scene. Having gained the experience of thousands of shows, festivals and many miles on the road, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them.

In 2020, unable to perform their rootsy brand of Americana for crowds in live settings, the Steel Wheels turned their creative powers to crafting songs for individuals. Produced in isolation in the band’s home studios, the Everyone a Song albums are part of an ongoing project to collect the personal experiences of fans and forge them into that most enduring, yet ephemeral, format we call “song.” An accompanying podcast, We Made You a Song, explores the stories behind these songs, and the songwriting process itself. While each of these new songs was commissioned to honor a specific relationship or event—a birth, a wedding, a memory of home—the emotions evoked are universal.
