Wilson Banjo Co. Bluegrass Band from Westminster, SC

2023 begins a new chapter for Wilson Banjo Co. as Pinecastle Music rolls out their next string of soon-to-be hit singles for South Carolina’s Wilson Banjo Co. The full album is expected for delivery in early 2024. Wilson is clear about the vision for the band in that he says “There’s never been a specific theme or sound bucket in mind for the band or our projects, I wouldn’t want to pigeonhole our creativity in that way. We are really all about the song. When we hear something that we like and we think we would be good at making it special, we just go for it, and then hope others will like it too!” This new album provides insight into the seemingly endless creative skill and talent at work with Wilson Banjo Co. It’s definitely something new and fresh from the band featuring full time members Sarah Logan (lead vocals, fiddle), Steve Wilson (banjo, harmony vocals), Glen Crain (resophonic guitar), Jaime Carter (bass), Adam Plott (percussion) and returning guests, Clay Hess (acoustic guitar), Tony Wray (acoustic guitar, bass), Milom Williams (mandolin), and Melanie Wilson (harmony vocals). The current single, “Nightbird,” released October 2023, can be heard frequenting the SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction airwaves. The “Company,” was spearheaded by Steve Wilson to promote his custom banjos and the band led by him and highly acclaimed female lead vocalist, Sarah Logan, along with Dobro master Glen Crain, and their stout new additions bass player Jaime Carter and percussion king, Adam Plott. Together, and with numerous musician staff, they continue to push the boundaries of traditional bluegrass music, redefining the sounds and structure to create their internationally recognized brand. 2021 represented a banner year for Wilson Banjo Co with the outstanding success of their “Six Degrees of Separation” album that featured 30 top-notch musicians and singers from around the bluegrass industry. All were people that Steve had worked with at some point in his career, whether in the studio, on the stage, or in the shop, building them a banjo. Listeners enjoyed the likes of Richard Bennett, Michael Cleveland, Dale Ann Bradley, Shawn Lane, Deanie Richardson, Clay Hess, and so many more, woven throughout an impressive collection of music with Steve and Sarah. “Six Degrees…” has remained in the Top 15 on the Roots Music Contemporary Album chart since its release, and continues to debut new songs in the Top 10, where their standout hits “Issaqueena,” penned by Steve Wilson and Glen Crain, and “When The Crow Comes Down,” cowritten by Nashville’s Jordan Rainer of newfound ‘The Voice’ fame, continue to make their appearance.. Wilson Banjo Co. received five nominations from the UMA (Upstate Music Awards), including Best Album, Song, and Video. “Six Degrees…” also earned its way on to an incredible 14 Top album and song lists of 2021, typically released by music publications, critics and radio stations. They also recently made it on to three 2nd ballot categories for the IBMA Award nominations for 2022. A new honor for them that they felt so blessed by. Those categories were Album of the Year for “Six Degrees Of Separation”, Instrumental of the Year and Collaborative Event of the Year, each for the original “Issaqueena.” There is much more to come from Wilson Banjo Co. in the coming year as they have paired up with some notable songwriters, and even a couple of fun covers in the forthcoming collection. With many new tour dates being added, they hope to see your face in the crowd somewhere soon.
