Having tired of seeing many a fine act bypass our fair city of Sheffield, we decided to start doing something about it ourselves. Bringing a fine blend of Americana, Alt-Country, and Acoustic live music, with a dash of Folk and Roots influences thrown in, we're WagonWheelMedia.
We've been promoting live music since 2006 and can be found at The Grapes twice a month with 'WagonWheel Presents...' featuring all the great music we love. Our two regular shows take place on the second Saturday and the last Thursday of each month. We put on other one off nights from time to time, usually featuring touring acts.
To join our mailing list and keep in touch with what we're up to, just send a blank e-mail to wagonwheelmedia@hotmail.co.uk

This month we mostly have Catie Curtis (with a Richard Thompson cover), Lindsay Fuller and The Cheap Dates (and who amongst us isn't?), Josh Fix with a track from the well-titled album This Town Is Starting To Make Me Angry and the rather lovely Red Rooster.
hello good people of wwm, please accept our free guitar tuner for your delight and musical tunings - download it to your pc/phone, add it to web pages whatever..
Four more little sonic gems for your August pleasure are now available on the site. Blitzen Trapper, Boulder Acoustic Society, Jay Brannan and The Wiyos. Yet another fine quartet even though we say so ourselves as picked them out.
Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
Saw Michael Weston King last night in Liverpool and he was superb. If you like finely crafted songs sung with a great voice backed by subtle pedal steel and percussion you'll love his set - Tony
Hey thanks for coming on board! We're headed to the UK in July - not as far North as Sheffield - hopefully next time but let's know if you can come to a show!
