As a team who thrives on the music of The Grateful Dead and finds much inspiration therein, we are stoked to have Steal Willin' on this years lineup. They take the improvisational musical heights of The Dead and fuse it with a jamgrass twist that is sure to leave heads spinning and feet moving!
Nourished by deep roots in the expansive canon of traditional American music, Steal Willin’ embodies the modern American condition – an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future. Wes Hunter (guitar, vocals) Paul Slovik (mandolin, vocals), Davis Canady Jr. (bass, vocals) and Jeff Hunnicutt (percussion/cajon) bring together their own musical styles to create a sound greater than the sum of its parts. They are original and unpredictable, fusing elements of blue/newgrass, country, and folk with a healthy dose of the Grateful Dead universe mixed in for good measure. The music is timeless. The music they have adapted to their unique style will take you on a musical journey, combining soulful instrumental passages with soaring three-part harmonies. Their growing repertoire of songs, including originals, showcase not only their considerable talents, but a dedication to meaningful roots-conscious American music.
You can catch Steal Willin' one month from today, May 27th from 3-4:00 at 2900 Arendell St. Morehead City.
