The Steel Wheels w/sg The RFD Boys
On hand to help The Ark celebrate its 50th anniversary are The Steel Wheels, a remarkable young band that distills and extends a good deal of what we've been about for the past half-century. The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels have conquered the Americana scene, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. "Americana music at its very best!" said Larry Groce of "Mountain Stage." As the band thrives, so do their partnerships with local businesses, artisans, and charitable organizations. The values portrayed in their music—devotion to roots, community, and family—are a way of life for The Steel Wheels, and this is reflected in everything from production process and booking agency to merchandise and touring. Opening the evening will be Michigan's own RFD Boys, who've been with The Ark for almost all of our 50 years.
