About this event
Very excited to announce two nights with The SteelDrivers at The Ramkat on October 16 & 17, 2026, with special guests Unspoken Tradition! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM Eastern this Friday, May 15, at TheRamkat.com, including a limited number of discounted two-show Standing Floor GA ticket packages! The SteelDrivers are a bluegrass band from Nashville, Tennessee. While there's a strong traditional streak in the SteelDrivers' sound, they bring a passion to their delivery that adds a distinctive flavor, and forceful grit adding undertones of blues, soul, and rock. The band took home the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album in 2015 for The Muscle Shoals Recording. 2021 brought the latest member on board, lead singer Matt Dame. The quintet celebrated their “20th Anniversary” in 2025 and released an album on Sun Records which received the Grammy Nomination for Best Bluegrass album. #thesteeldrivers #theramkat #wsnc #supportlivemusic Mountain Home Recording Artist Unspoken Tradition is about new, original Bluegrass. Inspired by their own influences and the roots of traditional and newgrass music, this North Carolina based quintet brings a sound that is both impassioned and nostalgic, hard-driving and sincere. Their 2020-21 singles have all charted in the Bluegrass Today top 20 including “California” #1 “Irons in the Fire” #2 and “Carolina and Tennessee” #4. Their 2019 release from Mountain Home Music Company, Myths We Tell Our Young, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts and has seen 5 top-charting radio singles, including a #1 spot on the Bluegrass Today chart for “Dark Side of the Mountain.” Their material is mostly original and reflects the ever-changing culture of Western and Central North Carolina where they call home. The band has earned a fervent following in the Southeast, selling out shows in Asheville, NC as well as the legendary Station Inn in Nashville, TN. They have also performed twice on the coveted Watson (main stage) at MerleFest. With heavy airplay on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction and ever-growing streaming numbers, Unspoken Tradition is a fast-rising voice of a new generation of roots music artists. Their debut recording, Simple Little Town (2013) saw quick success in radio and with tastemakers. Their follow-up release, Miles Between was featured on the nationally syndicated NPR show The World Cafe. Represented by Advance Artist Support, Unspoken Tradition plays nationwide.
