Willie Watson and The Steel Wheels Added to MerleFest Lineup

Folk singer Willie Watson performs on guitar, banjo, and harmonica and “can be murderous, bawdy or lustful, sometimes in the course of a single song, with a sly sense of humor that cuts to the quick.”

He was an original member of Old Crow Medicine Show, recording and touring with the group for over a decade before going solo in 2011.

Watson released his debut solo album, “Folk Singer, Vol. 1”, produced by David Rawlings, in early in 2014 and associate producer Gillian Welch on their Acony Records.

The Steel Wheels, making its third MerleFest appearance, will host the “Midnight Jam”—"the place to be for great late night music at the festival” according to artist relations manager, Steve Johnson.

They join dozens of other fine musical acts in the MerleFest 2015 lineup on 13 stages. MerleFest runs April 23-26 with an Early Bird discount available through April 22.
