Squeakin’ Wheels

About Me

Squeakin' Wheels are seven musicians who fuse musical influences from a wide range of times and places. Their shows are like an aural tour through the American musical landscape of the past century. In a nod to folk traditions, old songs are reinvented and mixed in with originals by siblings David and Marguerite Millard. Squeakin' Wheels are not a traditional string band museum piece but a compendium of folk, country, blues, rock and gospel flavors. Their soulful, vocal harmonies rubbing up against some rambunctious licks will help you re-imagine what folk music is.

JOAN BAEZ, MARIA MULDAUR AND ERIC ANDERSEN: still folkin' around after all these years

A lot of CDs blow through the ol' Arrow Ranch. I couldn't help but notice the convergence of recent releases by some "folk-icons of the sixties". These were musicians who were young upstarts in the tr...
