The SteelDrivers

Highly regarded individually as songsmiths and sessions players, The SteelDrivers will release their debut January 15 on Rounder Records. Performing all original rhythm ‘n bluegrass material, this batch of seasoned pros have an innumerable list of hits, cuts and licks to their credit. Since their inception over a year and half ago, they have been selling out Nashville’s legendary Station Inn.

With no hype, just incredible talent, these 5 musicians have already established a name for themselves in a town that barely looks twice at a bunch of folks holding acoustic instruments.

On their debut CD of all original material, The SteelDrivers’ back-country high lonesome collides with Delta soul and is one of the most refreshing sounds to emerge from Nashville in a long time. With no hype, just incredible talent, these 5 musicians have already established a name for themselves in a town that barely looks twice at a bunch of folks holding acoustic instruments. Stretching the boundaries of your typical bluegrass band, the rock/blues/soul vocals of guitarist Chris Stapleton put the high lonesome bluegrass sounds smack dab in the middle of town.

“The most exciting band to appear on the scene in a long, long time! Chris (Stapleton) puts the Ray Charles to it.”Nashville Bluegrass Band’s Roland White

Other SteelDrivers include mandolinist/guitarist/vocalist Mike Henderson, fiddler/vocalist Tammy Rogers, banjo player Richard Bailey and bassist Mike Fleming. Produced by Luke Wooten (Alison Krauss, Jim Lauderdale and Dierks Bentley), The SteelDrivers’ debut album does a great job of translating their impassioned live show onto disc.
