Focus On: MagnoliaFest Midwest—Steppin' In It

Toting an ample supply of vintage instruments and a sound that brings listeners back to the days of old-time radio, Steppin' In It is determined to make a dent in the roots community. Hailing from Lansing, Michigan - the heart of Factory Town, USA - these young men pound out their own brand of roots music, combining old-time country, swing and blues. Together, they achieve the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary playing what Performing Songwriter Magazine calls "some of the liveliest and most rocking acoustic roots music around." Upright Bassist Dominic Suchyta and multi-instrumentalist brothers Andy & Joe Wilson compliment the strong songwriting talents of singer/songwriter Josh Davis, whose vocals paint a picture of rural and urban Michigan breaking its blue-collar back under troubled times.
