About This Event
FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:The STEEL WHEELS Return to FITZGERALDS$25 General Admission Seat / Reserved Tables Available 20 years is a long time to spend doing anything at all. Its 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 theyre 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.
