The innovative, soulful bluegrass band The SteelDrivers – Tammy Rogers, Gary Nichols, Mike Fleming, Brent Truitt, and Richard Bailey – released The Muscle Shoals Recordings in 2015 on Rounder Records. The album quickly climbed the charts, reaching #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Chart and achieving the highest first-week sales in band history. The group kicked off 2016 with a Grammy win for “Best Bluegrass Album” and is currently performing sold-out shows at top festivals and venues across the country on the Long Way Down Tour.
Critics call The SteelDrivers “one of the best bands in the business” (Derek Halsey, The Huntington Herald-Dispatch) and praise their “gutsy, gritty bluegrass songs” (Juli Thanki, The Tennessean). Writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, AD Amorosi declared “You can call it power-bluegrass or country soul, but whatever you call it, Nashville’s SteelDrivers have bushels of it.” For more information and the complete list of tour dates, visit The SteelDrivers’ website.
