Den East Nashville-baserede sangskriver Mike Wheeler stammer oprindeligt fra en lille by i det sydlige Vermont. I 2013 begyndte han at turnere nationalt og internationalt med Crying Wolf. Efter at duoen gik i opløsning, sluttede han sig til The Hardcore Grass i Nashville. Anført af Chris Henry (Peter Rowan Band) var dette en mesterklasse i traditionel bluegrass-tenorsang. Samtidig fortsatte Wheeler med at skrive sange og forberedte sig på at tage springet til en solokarriere. Snart levede han fuldtid på landevejen.
Wheelers originale katalog er omfattende. Fra traditionelle og progressive rødder til indie, folk og glammede, garageprægede sange, der skylder lige så meget til hans ungdom, hvor han var besat af Neil Young, som til hans samtidige helte.
Alle disse indflydelser – og årene, hvor han lærte håndværket i bands og alene på landevejen – er til stede på Wheelers debut-LP, Roll Another Dime (Pacific Records). Albummet er produceret af den Grammy-vindende lydtekniker, rytmeguitarist i Dark Star Orchestra og mangeårige mentor for Wheeler, Rob Eaton Sr. På albummet medvirker blandt andre George Jackson, Adam Chaffins og Sierra Ferrell.
Kommende singler og en LP vil blive udgivet i løbet af det næste år.

 

Mike Wheeler is a singer-songwriter originally hailing from Vermont. With stints in Montreal, New Zealand, Augusta, GA, Key West, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Kentucky-- where he was called "hands down, one of the finest WKY singer-songwriters going at the moment" (News4U, 2017)-- Wheeler now calls Nashville home.

Mike's debut LP, Roll Another Dime, produced by Grammy-winning studio engineer, Rob Eaton, was released by Pacific Records in March of 2022. The record features appearances by Adam Chaffins, Todd Smallie (Dereck Trucks Band), and Sierra Ferrell. His self-produced follow-up LP will be released in 2025, and features members of Sierra Ferrell and Sturgill Simpson's bands. 

2017 marked Wheeler's solo debut with Sunbeams All Twisted-- a mostly stripped-down acoustic collection of Mike's lyric-heavy Americana numbers. The 7-song EP features accompaniment from award-winning New Zealand fiddler, George Jackson, and Vermont pedal steel heavyweight, Brett Lanier (The Barr Brothers, Billy Currington, Timbo). This release was followed by a collaborative digital EP, The Countin' on you Sessions with Rachel Baiman in 2020.
