The Steel Wheels

The Steel Wheels blends those roots with a spirit of exploration, combining energy, humor, and tender restraint into a cohesive and deeply personal work. The journey began close to home: at their 2024 Red Wing Roots festival in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Wagler connected with producer D. James Goodwin (Goose, Bonny Light Horseman, I’m With Her), who had recently relocated to the area. He invited the band to his new studio, The Isokon, where they recorded live in one room during a snowy winter.
