The award-winning quintet continues to sell-out shows across the US. With realness, rawness and edge, The SteelDrivers speak their own accent, one that charms and sears and beguiles. This is a band like no other, Nichols, Rogers, Bailey, Fleming and Truitt blend sounds of bluegrass from Nashville, Tennessee. They intertwine music born from other genres creating a repertoire of soulful emotion using the banjo and mandolin.
The SteelDrivers concert is September 23, 2016 at Nightingale Concert Hall on the UNR campus.
Tickets are available at www.renoisartown.com for $35.00 and $25.00 plus fees (tickets are non-refundable). For more information, contact Artown at 775-322-1538.

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.”
