Siloam Springs Steel Guitar Club

About Me

Thank you for your interest in the SSSGC.
The SSSGC's interests include networking with other steelers and musicians, jamming and having fun, and promoting pedal steel guitar.
Our yearly dues are $24, which helps defray the cost of our big annual Steel Guitar Convention in April.
We encourage steelers of all ages to join us at our monthly meeting. Visitors who enjoy listening to steel guitar are always welcome.
We've been inspired by steel legends to carry on the timeless musical treasure of the pedal steel guitar for future generations. Let's keep this flame burning!
