Wheels has been played on NTS in shows including Black Impulse, featured first on 1 September 2018. Songs played include Year Of The Horse.

Hailing from Yellow Springs, Ohio, Wheels plays their own brand of music. Some might call it Americana, but they’ve dubbed it ‘outdoorsy bird funk’ – a high-energy, foot-stomping hootenanny steeped in bluegrass tradition, seasoned with classic soul and rock n’ roll, and delivered with a forward-minded and innovative approach. Known for their stunning three- and four-part harmony vocals, the band consists of Rory Papania on guitar, Sam Salazar playing mandolin, Jamie Scott providing percussion and harmonica, Sam Crawford laying down the bass, and Conor Stratton covering everything in between.. Their harmony vocals have been compared to the Beach Boys and CSNY, and their raw folk revival sound evokes Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers.
