October 14, 2020 – Harrisonburg, VA – In the first few months of a worldwide pandemic, bluegrass-rockers The Steel Wheels<\/a> took to their own home studios\u2014in some cases pieced a home studio together\u2014and got to work. Recording more than 60 songs when all was said and done, the group landed on a concept unlike any waters they\u2019d waded into before; they called it \u201cDistance Together.\u201d Conceived by The Steel Wheels\u2019 lead singer and songwriter, Trent Wagler, the project became an avenue for fans of the band to commission works and send musical greetings to their loved ones. The initiative sparked a surprisingly impactful and intimate songwriting process, with Wagler setting the personal stories of fans to song and verse. Some songs were written for individuals, some for friends and families\u2014many were specific to a time and place\u2014and some were commissioned for weddings and anniversaries or to commemorate a lost loved one or the completion of a life’s work. At the end of the process, The Steel Wheels\u2014Brian Dickel, Trent Wagler, Jay Lapp, Eric Brubaker, and Kevin Garcia\u2014were left with some of the most heartfelt, inspiring material they\u2019ve ever written, and the result shines through on Everyone A Song, Vol. 1,a brand new 9-song album to be released on November 20th.<\/div>\n

Today, The Boot premiered Everyone A Song, Vol. 1\u2019s first single, \u201cThe Healer,\u201d which came to life as a song to celebrate the retirement of a physical therapist\u2019s 38-year long career. Before making it onto the album, \u201cThe Healer\u201d was used during a socially distanced retirement party as a special gift to commemorate an amazing career. \u201cAs the family recalled stories from [the subject\u2019s] life, it was clear that her healing skills were not limited to the workplace,\u201d recalls Wagler. Like every other tune on the album, the song\u2019s lyrics and melody reflect the love and admiration that encircle the celebrated. Fans can listen to \u2018The Healer\u201d now at this<\/a> link and pre-order Everyone A Song, Vol. 1 right here<\/a>. Additionally, on Friday, Oct. 16th, the band will join The Boot\u2019s online community via Facebook Live<\/a> to play a few songs from the new record, including the first single \u201cThe Healer,\u201d at 8pm central.<\/div>\n

The process behind this new album has been further documented in an accompanyingpodcast, We Made You A Song<\/a>. Each episode dives into the creation of a single song on the album, serving as an in-depth audio liner note. Wagler interviews the band as well as the actual subjects of each song to give a rare glimpse into the creative process and what it means for someone to have their experience distilled into melody and rhyme. We Made You A Song<\/a> is distributed by NPR and WMRA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Everyone A Song, Vol. 1 was born out of a desire to close the distance created in the midst of the Covid-19 shutdown. \u201cMaybe I was dreaming of being an essential worker,\u201d says Wagler. \u201cIt made me ask the question: what\u2019s essential about music? It\u2019s the connection. The understanding. The beauty and magic of melodies that transcend us with the words that say, \u2018You there, I see you, and you see me, and doesn\u2019t it feel good to not be alone in the world?\u2019 That\u2019s what art has to offer. Especially right now. And planting real stories right in the middle of it kind of pushed aside any other pretense or distraction about being cool or whatever.\u201d<\/div>\n
