With influences ranging from John Hartford and The Flying Burrito Brothers to Tom Petty to Luna, The Mid-State Wire mixes Appalachian and Midwest styles into heartfelt, straight-forward songs. Placing focus on the ensemble over the individual, the band creates a full-spectrum sound of mandolin, organ, piano, lap steel, harmonica, guitar, drums and bass. The Mid-State Wire formed July 2005 in Columbus, OH. The band’s diverse backgrounds and styles find common ground in a determined work-ethic and honest musicianship that invites you in and welcomes you to stay.
“ If you’re thinking alt-country, you’d be partly right, but with a bit of a darker twist. They make a sultry, smoky version or Americana that is equal parts folk and bluegrass, with some jazz and Route 66 tossed in…..They’re killer, and they’re doing stuff I haven’t heard in a while.”
