Steppin’ In It Bring American Roots to Sunset Concert Series

Steppin’ In It, one of America’s most prestigious American Roots bands, take the stage on Aug. 26 at 7 pm for Peg Egan Performing Art Center’s Sunset Concert Series. Steppin’ In It, armed with an ample supply of vintage instruments, have a sound that brings listeners back to the days of old-time radio.

While playing over 200 shows a year, the band took a break last fall to work on their most recent release, Hidden in the Lowlands. The quartet worked with producer Sally Van Meter on the project. Van Meter described the session as “what would happen if Hank Williams Sr. joined forces with Wayne the train Hancock and a folk band featuring singer Tom Waits…”

Hidden in the Lowlands captures the energy of their fierce touring schedule and the diversity of old-time American music. Hailing from Lansing, Mich., these young men pound out their own brand of roots music combining old-time country, swing and blues. Steppin’ In It achieves the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary.

The album showcases the songwriting talents of singer/songwriter Josh Davis, whose haunting vocals paint a picture of rural and urban Michigan breaking its blue-collar back under troubled times.

The Peg Egan Center is located on Church Street in Egg Harbor, and all concerts are free and open to the public.
