Forces to be reckoned with for awhile.

Songs that recall a more familiar time and yet sound fresh and creative.

Tina Owens Acoustic Cafe

If one must compare The Steel Wheels to another act in order to get an idea of their music, imagine a blend of the passion of The Avett Brothers, the instrumentals of Old Crow Medicine Show, and then sprinkle in the backwoods feel of The Legendary Shack Shakers. In truth, attempting to compare them with anyone is an injustice, since after one listen you can hear that they stand very well on their own perch.

John Walker Americana Roots

There were many points during their performance that their perfectly executed vocal harmonies or master level musicianship took one's breath away. They are so much more than words can describe...I believe everyone in our audience will agree that we tasted a little bit of music heaven tonight.
