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. In 2005, Jay Lapp (vocals, guitars, mandolin) and Eric Brubaker (vocals, fiddle) joined lead singer Trent Wagler (guitar, banjo) as a vehicle for Wagler’s songwriting. They released several albums before officially adopting the The Steel Wheels name with the 2010 release of Red Wing. Quickly staking their claim as independent upstarts in the burgeoning Americana scene, The Steel Wheels followed up this release with three more self-produced albums before joining forces with producer Sam Kassirer for Wild As We Came Here (2017) and Over The Trees (2019). Kevin Garcia (drums, percussion, keys) joined in 2017, bringing sonic depth and polish to the outfit, while newest member, Jeremy Darrow, rounds out the rhythm section as the band explores deeply rooted, yet fresh, folk rock sounds. Thousands of shows, festivals and many miles on the road, have formed deep bonds within the stubbornly independent band and with the audience that sustains them.
