The Steel Wheels

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 Root   Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 day of show  visit their website: http://www.thesteelwheels.com

Elizabeth Cook

Elizabeth Cook made her Grand Ole Opry debut on March 17, 2000, appearing repeatedly thereafter — a remarkable achievement considering that, at the time, she was an indie artist with no radio airplay. But such was the excitement generated by her clear, beautiful voice, strong songwriting ability, and live performances, all of which have drawn comparisons to younger, critically respected artists like Kelly Willis and legends such as Dolly Parton.  Nanci Griffith has called her ”this generation’s Loretta Lynn”   Her newest release, “Welder” , has garnered high praise and serious airplay. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Visit her website:http://www.elizabeth-cook.com
