About The SteelDrivers:
Standing on the precipice of their 20th anniversary, The SteelDrivers aren’t looking over their shoulders at the road to the here and now. Quite the contrary, where the Americana/bluegrass icons are aiming headlong towards the unknowns of tomorrow, and with one simple, yet powerful, thought permeating throughout — what’s next?
“Very early in the game, we were determined to do our own original music. And we stood by it, where now we’re reaping those rewards,” says fiddler Tammy Rogers. “The sound has been really unique, because nobody’s expected to play like somebody else — everybody has their own individual voice.”
Cultivating that deep sense of self — and of the independent, freewheelin’ spirit residing at the core of The SteelDrivers since their inception — the band’s latest album, Outrun, is an ode to the trials and tribulations of life itself, where certain undeniable truths about love, lore, and legacy come to pass as the clock keeps ticking. "And you can’t outrun a broken heart that gives into a gun,” the ensemble howls and rumbles through the title track. “And you can’t outrun the Grim Reaper once the deed is done.”
Outrun not only underlines the immense talent and storied prestige within the Grammy-winning group, it also celebrates The SteelDrivers latest partnership with famed Memphis, Tennessee, label Sun Records.
“We like to think of albums as having their own space, slant, and story,” Rogers says. “And ‘Outrun’ really encapsulated the whole album. I think the secret of why we’ve been able to keep going is not getting too far ahead of ourselves — aiming to be content in a moment, and to let it unfold, to invest and enjoy it.”
With the 20th anniversary celebration underway for The SteelDrivers, the bandmates are each taking inventory of where it all began, where it stands at this juncture, and where it may go from here.
“It’s not about any one thing,” Rogers notes. “It’s about the whole band. Everybody’s important. And, at this point in the game, the songs have taken on a life of their own, where [the audience] is singing every song — there’s nothing more gratifying than that.”About The SteelDrivers:
