Wheeler Brothers On A Roll
Life is good for the Wheeler Brothers. The group’s 2013 LP, Gold Boots Glitter, helped propel the quartet through a touring year that featured performances at festivals ranging from Newport Folk to Lollapalooza and included stops at SXSW, Louisville’s Forecastle and Austin City Limits.
First up for the Wheeler Brothers is a series of dates in the group’s home state of Texas beginning in late February and running through mid-March before venturing out for gigs across the land. Joining the band as support March 20 through April 18 will be Utah’s Desert Noises in March and April and Austin music artist Graham Wilkinson is the special guest for the stretch labeled “Great Northwest Music Tour” April 10-18.
