New Self-Titled Album — The Steel Wheels

20 years is a long time to spend doing anything at all. It’s an age for any group of people to sustain a collective effort. For a band on the road, 20 years can be more than a lifetime. Yet, after 2 decades of making music together in living rooms, listening rooms, clubs, theaters, and festival stages, The Steel Wheels are still growing, still pushing, still at it, and they’re marking the occasion with the release of their 9th studio album, “The Steel Wheels”. 

Following the release of “Sideways” in 2024, their 3rd record with producer Sam Kassirer at his Great North Sound Society studio in interior Maine, the band felt it was time for a change of scene. As the group began to select songs for a new album, they also had to find an answer to the question of where they would get down to the work of record-making. They didn’t know that answer was going to knock on their back door.

4x Grammy nominated songwriter and singer Emily King was born and raised in New York City’s lower east side. She began her career playing venues in Greenwich village and was soon after discovered by Clive Davis who signed her to his J Records label at the age of 21.

King has toured extensively most recently headlining her European tour as well as performing alongside Norah Jones on her Visions tour and Jacob Collier on his North American Djesse Vol. 4 Tour. King is a cross genre artist collaborating with an array of acclaimed contemporaries such as Robert Glasper, Sara Bareilles, Brittany Howard, Lukas Nelson and Jon Batiste to name a few. King’s unmistakable silky lush vocal and joyous magnetic stage presence continue to lure audiences around the world.
