The Steel Wheels is an American roots music group of folk musicians based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The band is rooted in musical styles that explore the territories between blues and bluegrass, old-time sing-alongs and foot-stompin’ fiddle tunes. They 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
