River Wheel

In the early days of 2010, three Pennsylvania natives and a banjo-wielding Georgia boy took to a Lancaster County kitchen to throw down a sound it wouldn’t soon forget. River Wheel emerged in a week’s time with a full-length album and with formidable energy and aspirations to wind their sound around minds across the country. Holding a deep reverence for the roots of bluegrass music, River Wheel turns out a sound that is both honest and innovative. They ride a tide running higher and higher with original material, which they perform with a striking collective exuberance. Guitarist and mandolinist Nick DiSebastian is a current student of Berklee College of Music, as is Kyle Tuttle on the 5-string banjo. Songwriting talent Oliver Craven performs on mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, while Charlie Muench, a current music student of West Chester University, holds down the low end of the 4-piece outfit with a strong hand on the upright bass. Complementing their individual instrumental talents, the four gentlemen of River Wheel soar together in seamless vocal harmony.

Along with their original music, River Wheel has an expansive repertoire including traditional bluegrass, country and honky tonk, American blues, and rock and roll classics. The members of River Wheel also play and are influenced by jazz, classical, salsa, funk, and international folk styles.

River Wheel has been touring the east coast of America and intends to continue traveling and playing for audiences across the world within the years to come. Keep an eye out for them at bluegrass festivals, bars, and music venues!
