The Tumbling Wheels are a New Orleans-based gaggle of musicians that draw heavily from American folk, country, and soul traditions. With influences as disparate as Bessie Smith, Hoyt Axton, and the Smothers Brothers, the group brings a peculiar blend of genres together for a sound that abounds in rich vocal harmony, dynamic instrumentation, and colorful storytelling. Their latest album “The Tumbling Wheels Play the No Counts” was been nominated by Offbeat Magazine for a Best of the Best Award in the Best Country/Folk/Singer-Songwriter category.
