The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello everyone,

I was interested in finding out how many pedal steel players were near or within a reasonable distance from Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Thank you to all who submit. Eli

Depends how much real estate you want to include as "reasonable distance." In the area spanning, say, Charlotte/Asheville/Spartanburg, I know there's at least a few of us.

Hello,

Yes, I would consider that to be a reasonable distance. I live about an hour from all those cities. Thanks Eli

there's several of us in the Asheville area.

and you've got Silas Hamilton over in Shelby.

Hello Scott,

That is great news. Although I am thankful for the internet and all the instructional videos it provides, I also think it would benefit me seeing PSG players live in action. I would love to meet and hear some of PSG players that are gigging around my area. Thank you for your post.

also, Mike Bagwell seems to stay pretty busy in the Greenville SC area

I'm in Avery County near Linville.

Hello Dave,

That is fairly close to Rutherfordton. Do you happen to play out anywhere in the area? Thanks Eli

Nah--I stopped playing out about the time COVID hit, and hadn't been playing out more than a couple of times a month before that. I'm mostly a banjo player anyway.

Hey Dave,

Sounds good. Covid has changed a lot of things concerning live music. To say the least. Prayers for anyone walking through that valley. Thank you for your reply. Eli
