The Steel Wheels are an Americana/folk outfit from the Blue Ridge Mountains near Harrisonburg, VA. They've been playing together in various configurations since 2005. I'd hazard guess that the Rootstone Jug Band might've shared a bill with them at some point along the way.
Lead singer and primary songwriter Trent Wagler happens to have a daughter who's a second-year dance student at Virginia Commonwealth University, just a couple years behind my kid. Wagler's daughter took over the VCUarts dance program's Instagram this morning. And that's how I happened upon this beautiful song and video from the band's new record, which features Wagler's kid and some of her colleagues at VCU. I couldn't love it more, unless my kid was one of the dancers featured. As it is, several of their friends are.

Never played a show with the steel wheels, but I think we at least corresponded about it way back when.
